A sweet creamy and snowy white cake:

Ingredients

10 – 12 pcs. Graham crackers
1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup white chocolate chunks
1 cup cream cheese
2 cups all purpose cream
½ cup white chocolate (shredded)

Directions

For the crust; in a blender or grinder, add the graham crackers and grind. Once this looks like sand, add 1/3 cup of melted butter and grind again. Set aside.
In a pan, place a parchment paper at the bottom, or make a makeshift cross using two long strips of parchment paper. Then place the bottom parchment. These can help lift out the cake later.
Place the crust mixture in the pan and press this down. Keep this in the fridge to chill while making the filling.
For the filling; melt white chocolate and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds. Mix this till it looks smooth.
In another bowl, whisk the cream cheese till fluffy, add all purpose cream 1 cup at a time, and melted white chocolate and whisk well. Add this over the graham crust. And chill for 3 hours to overnight. Keep 1 – 2 cups of filling in a piping bag with a star tip.
Once chilled, pull the ‘cross’ corners to lift the cake up. Or place a plate over the pan and flip and tap the bottom of the pan. Take the pan and parchment paper off. Use another plate and flip this back again. So the graham crust is at the bottom. Use a spatula to smoothen the edges.
Use the pipe to decorate all over the top of the cheesecake, chill if the topping turns too soft. Top with white chocolate shreds before serving.
