Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 750 grams cream cheese, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 200 grams white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300 grams rhubarb, chopped
- 75 grams sugar (for rhubarb swirl)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F) and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, 75 grams of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the mixture becomes syrupy (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat, puree if desired, and allow to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 200 grams of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Blend in the melted white chocolate, mixing until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Drop spoonfuls of the rhubarb mixture onto the cheesecake batter. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the rhubarb into the batter to create a marble effect.
Place the springform pan onto a baking tray and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. Do not overbake.
Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for an hour to cool gradually.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven, run a knife around the edges to release it from the pan, and let it reach room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, carefully release the springform pan, slice the cheesecake, and enjoy!
