Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cup All-purpose flour
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¾ cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup Regenerative Organic Certified® Cane Sugar
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg (room temperature)
- 1 Egg yolk (room temperature)
- 1/3 cup Christmas sprinkles (jimmies)
- 32 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
- 2/3 cup Regenerative Organic Certified® Cane Sugar
- ¾ cup Sour cream (or Greek yogurt, room temperature)
- ½ cup Heavy cream (room temperature)
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 4 Large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract, egg, egg yolk, and sprinkles; mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create an even layer for your crust. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden. Allow cooling.
- For the cheesecake, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla; mix until well-blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing briefly after each addition. Avoid overmixing to maintain a smooth texture.
- Pour the cheesecake batter onto the cooled cookie crust.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For the ganache, heat heavy cream until just simmering and pour over white chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Once cheesecake is chilled, pour ganache over the top and refrigerate for an additional hour before serving.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing. Consider a water bath for a creamier texture.
