Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
8 oz white chocolate, melted
1/2 cup blueberry puree (fresh or frozen blueberries blended until smooth)
For the Topping:
Fresh blueberries
Whipped cream
Blueberry sauce (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just blended.
Mix in sour cream and melted white chocolate until smooth and creamy.
Create the Swirl:
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust.
Drop spoonfuls of blueberry puree onto the filling, then use a knife or skewer to swirl the puree into the filling.
Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top, and repeat the process with the remaining blueberry puree for a beautiful swirl effect.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan, and fill the roasting pan with hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath, and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Add the Topping:
Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh blueberries, dollops of whipped cream, and a drizzle of blueberry sauce if desired.
Enjoy:
