How to Make White Chocolate Key Lime Cheesecake
- **Prepare Crust:** Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Combine with 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- **Preheat Oven:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Cream Cheese Mixture:** In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup sour cream, 3 large eggs (beaten), 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 12 ounces melted white chocolate, 1/2 cup key lime juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until completely combined and smooth.
- **Assemble:** Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust.
- **Bake & Rest:** Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes. This slow cooling prevents cracking.
- **Chill:** Refrigerate for at least 12 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the cheesecake to fully set and the flavors to meld.
- **Serve:** Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream and lime zest, if desired.
