How to Make Elegant White Chocolate Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup blueberry jam

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust.
3. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, and let it cool slightly.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Stir in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust.
7. In another bowl, gently fold the blueberries and blueberry jam together. Drop spoonfuls of this blueberry mixture on top of the cheesecake batter, then swirl with a knife to create a marble effect.
8. Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the blueberry swirl.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggles.
10. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
