    • ¾ cup granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven and prepare the crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
    • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the filling:
    • In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps.
    • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until well combined.
    • Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, flour, and salt. Stir in the heavy cream until everything is fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble and bake:
    • Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
    • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for an additional 10 minutes. Then crack the oven door and let it cool gradually for another 30 minutes.
  4. Chill and serve:
    • Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
    • Before serving, you can garnish with fresh berries or drizzle with melted white chocolate for an extra touch.

Enjoy this luscious cheesecake with its delicate flavor and creamy texture!
