  3. Make the filling
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
    Add the cooled melted white chocolate, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully blended.

  4. Add the egg and strawberries
    Beat in the egg until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
    Gently fold in the chopped strawberries so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  5. Bake the cheesecake
    Pour the filling over the prepared crust and spread it into an even layer.
    Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly.

  6. Cool in the oven
    Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour to cool gradually.

  7. Chill completely
    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it come to room temperature.
    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully chilled and set.

  8. Add the topping and serve
    Just before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped fresh strawberries and drizzle with the melted white chocolate chips.
    Slice and enjoy.
