A rich, creamy baked white chocolate cheesecake that is super easy to make (no water bath) and comes out perfectly every time! Using room temperature ingredients to avoid cracking, this is a no-fuss cake that is a huge hit here.
The mellow flavour of the white chocolate is perfect for chocolate skeptics and it’s a great cake to dress up for a gathering or party, or just whip up for a weeknight treat.
Hope you love it!

2 1/2 cups softened cream cheese
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs

- Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each until batter is smooth.
- Add the melted white chocolate and mix again.
- Reduce oven temperature to 290 degrees.
Pour the batter over the crust, scraping down sides of bowl to ensure you get all the batter. Smooth out the top with spatula. - Bake for approx 1 hour 10 minutes, or until edges are set and lightly golden and centre of cake is still a bit wobbly.
- Turn oven off and leave door ajar until cake is cooled to room temperature. Transfer to fridge and let sit overnight or at least a few hours until completely cool.
