Ingredients
- 200g digestive biscuits (crushed)
- 100g unsalted butter (melted)
- 300g white chocolate (chopped)
- 500g cream cheese (softened)
- 200ml heavy cream
- 120g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter until well combined, then press into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar together until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and melted white chocolate. Mix until smooth and uniform.
- Pour the mixture over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, spread strawberry jam over the top and garnish with sliced fresh strawberries.

Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor. Allow ingredients to come to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth batter. Do not overbake—the cheesecake should have a slight wobble in the center when done.
Tips
- For a crunchier crust, bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- Use high-quality white chocolate to enhance creaminess and sweetness.
- Let the cheesecake cool gradually to prevent cracks on the surface.
- Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate on top for a stunning finish.
Health Benefits
This cheesecake provides a good source of calcium and protein from cream cheese and eggs. Strawberries add vitamin C and antioxidants that support skin health and immunity. While indulgent, enjoying it in moderation can satisfy sweet cravings without overdoing sugar intake. White chocolate also contributes a small amount of magnesium and beneficial fats.
