Press firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch or 9-inch springform pan. Freeze for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>Line Pan with Strawberries:<\/strong> Slice fresh strawberries vertically in half. Press the flat side of the strawberry slices around the inside perimeter of the springform pan against the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. <strong>Whip Filling:<\/strong> In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Slowly beat in the melted, cooled white chocolate and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. <strong>Fold Heavy Cream:<\/strong> In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate cream cheese mixture until completely combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. <strong>Assemble:<\/strong> Carefully spoon the filling into the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula so it locks the strawberries along the edges in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. <strong>Chill &amp; Decorate:<\/strong> Refrigerate for at least 6 hours (or overnight) until firmly set. Top with whipped cream rosettes, fresh strawberries, graham cracker crumb sprinkles, and a drizzle of melted white chocolate before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comment <strong>&#8220;Strawberry&#8221;<\/strong> below if you love no-bake decadent desserts! \ud83c\udf53\u2728<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prep time: 30 mins | Chill time: 6 hours (or overnight) | Servings: 10\u201312 Ingredients For the Crust &nbsp;1 1\/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour) &nbsp;4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted &nbsp;2 tbsp granulated sugar (or sweetener) For the White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling &nbsp;16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened &nbsp;6 oz high-quality white &#8230; <a title=\"White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/?p=154\" aria-label=\"Read more about White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=154"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":156,"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154\/revisions\/156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cookbook.el-maarifa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
