Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) blueberries
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips, melted
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) melted butter
Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, pressing the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to create a compact base.
- Using an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Incorporate melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until fully integrated and uniform in color.
- Add eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition to maintain a silky, consistent texture.
- Carefully fold blueberries into the cheesecake batter, distributing them gently to prevent crushing.
- Pour the prepared batter over the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, watching for a slight jiggle in the center while edges appear set and slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, which prevents cracking.
- Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight to achieve optimal flavor and firm texture before serving.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing and perfect texture.
- Prevent blueberries from sinking by tossing them lightly in flour before folding into the cheesecake batter, which helps distribute them evenly.
- Use a water bath method by placing the springform pan in a larger pan filled with hot water to create gentle, even baking and prevent cracks on the surface.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste.
