A friend gave me this recipe and she said its amazing. I’m trying it tonight:
White Chocolate Cheesecake
Crust:
5 oz graham crackers OR Nilla Wafers
1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts (optional)
1/4 c unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Filling:
12 oz white chocolate chopped in small pieces
1/2 c heavy cream
3 8 oz packages cream cheese
1/4 c sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
Topping:
1 3/4 c sour cream
1/3 c sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350
Grease a 9″ springform. Melt butter. Crush crumbs, mix with butter and cinnamon, press into springform. Bake for 5-7 minutes. Cool pan on a wire rack.
Lower oven temp to 300
Melt the white chocolate and cream together until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time. Slowly beat in white chocolate mixture and vanilla. Pour into the crust and bake for 45-55 minutes, being careful not to brown the top.
Increase oven to 400.
Prepare topping by mixing sour cream, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Pour over the cheesecake and bake for only 5-7 minutes more. Turn off the oven and let the cake sit inside for 1 more hour. Decorate with white chocolate curls if desired, and dust lightly with cocoa powder.
