How to prepare white chocolate cheesecake?
To prepare this delicious cheesecake, you'll need a few basic ingredients. However, the key to success is the quality of the quark and white chocolate. The right proportions and baking method make the cheesecake moist, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth.
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 3.5 oz butter biscuits,
- 1.5 oz melted butter.
Cheese Mixture:
- 26.5 oz ground cheesecake quark,
- 4.2 oz sugar,
- 1 tablespoon potato starch,
- 3 eggs,
- 4.2 oz heavy cream (18%),
- 7 oz white chocolate.
Topping:
- 2 oz heavy cream (18%),
- 3.5 oz white chocolate,
- optional white chocolate shavings for decoration.
Step-by-step cheesecake preparation
- Remove the eggs and quark from the fridge to reach room temperature.
- Line a springform pan with a diameter of about 7.5–8.3 inches with parchment paper, securing the rim, so the paper adheres well to the bottom.
- Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs (e.g., in a blender), mix them with melted butter, and line the bottom and sides of the springform pan, pressing down to form an even layer.
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (with top-bottom heating, no convection). Place an ovenproof dish filled with boiling water inside—the steam will prevent the cheesecake from cracking and give it the perfect texture.
- In a large bowl, combine the quark, sugar, and potato starch. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
- Add one egg at a time, mixing for 30 seconds each time.
- In a small saucepan, heat the cream but do not bring it to a boil. Remove from heat, add the white chocolate broken into pieces, and stir until it melts.
- When the mixture cools slightly, pour it into the quark mixture and gently stir to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Pour the cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smooth it out, and place it in the oven.
- Bake for about 70 minutes (if the springform pan has a larger diameter—65 minutes). The center of the cheesecake should remain slightly loose.
- After baking, turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and let the cheesecake cool gradually.
- When it reaches room temperature, transfer it to a cake stand and decorate with the topping.
White chocolate cheesecake is a dessert that will surely impress all guests. Its delicate taste and creamy texture make it an ideal offering for the holiday table. Serve the cheesecake with your favorite additions, such as fresh fruit or whipped cream, and enjoy a moment of sweet delight.
