Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Heath Bar pieces, crushed
- 1 optional whipped cream, for garnish
- 0.25 cup extra Heath Bar pieces, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by wrapping the outside in aluminum foil to prevent leaks. Grease the inside of the pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, ensuring it is even and tightly packed. Set the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes, using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the sour cream, melted white chocolate, and vanilla extract, mixing gently until smooth and fully incorporated.
Fold in 1 cup of the crushed Heath Bar pieces with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the springform pan in a large, deep roasting pan and carefully fill the roasting pan with hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This water bath helps prevent cracks.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
Turn off the oven and prop the door open slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent sudden temperature changes that could cause cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath, then let it cool completely at room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream, the remaining crushed Heath Bar pieces, and extra melted white chocolate, if desired.
Slice and enjoy this decadent White Chocolate Heath Bar Cheesecake with family and friends!
