White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs.
02 - ½ cup melted butter.
03 - 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened.
04 - 1 cup granulated sugar.
05 - 1 cup sour cream.
06 - 4 large eggs.
07 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
08 - 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted and cooled.
09 - 1 cup blueberry puree.
10 - Fresh blueberries (for garnish).
11 - Mint leaves (for garnish).

Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
02 - In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
04 - Divide the batter into two equal halves. Stir melted white chocolate into one half and blueberry puree into the other half.
05 - Pour alternating spoonfuls of white chocolate and blueberry batters over the crust. Use a knife to swirl the batters for a marbled effect.
06 - Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set. Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open to cool for 1 hour.
07 - Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves.

Notes:

01 - Tip: Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
