Ingredients
Scale
- 200g white chocolate, chopped – a key component of this creamy dessert
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened – for the rich, smooth base
- 1 cup sour cream – adds tang and creaminess
- 1 cup granulated sugar – for perfect sweetness balance
- 3 large eggs – to bind the flavors together
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – enhances overall flavor
- 1/2 cup heavy cream – for extra creaminess
- 1/2 cup butterbeer flavoring or DIY butterbeer essence – for authentic wizarding taste
- Optional: whipped cream and caramel sauce for topping – for a magical presentation
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Mix 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup melted butter and 1 tablespoon sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and chill.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix in melted white chocolate and butterbeer flavoring. Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating gently.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour filling into crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center slightly jiggles. Cool at room temperature then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Decorate and Serve: Top with whipped cream, caramel, white chocolate shavings, and themed toppers. Serve chilled and enjoy the magical flavors.
Notes
- Ensure the cheesecake is baked until just set to prevent cracks—using a water bath can help achieve a smooth finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
- You can customize the topping with edible gold flakes or mini wands for a more enchanting presentation.
