For the Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups (356ml) + 1/4 cup (59ml) heavy whipping cream, divided
- 8 ounces (226g) white chocolate bar (such as Ghirardelli or Lindt)
- 3/4 cup (30g) vanilla cake mix, divided

- 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (5ml) pure almond extract
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
For the Topping:
- 1 cup (236ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (65g) powdered sugar
- Assorted fresh fruit, as desired
- Sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray and then wiping gently with a paper towel. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- Grind the cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. Pour the melted butter over the cookie crumbs and stir until the crumbs are well coated.
- Pour the crumbs into your springform pan and press firmly into the bottom and up on the sides to create a thick crust. Refrigerate the crust while you are preparing the filling.
For the Filling:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted. Stir until completely smooth.
- Prepare the whipped cream. Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill. Beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until thickened to soft peaks. add 1/2 cup of cake mix and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until it’s completely smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Next, add the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of cake mix, vanilla, and almond extract, and continue beating until smooth.
- Nex,t add the melted chocolate, beating until it’s completely mixed into the cream cheese. Finally, slowly fold in the whipped cream and sprinkles in two batches until it’s completely smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours minimum.
For the Topping:
- Prepare another batch of whipped cream as directed above. Pipe the borders of the cheesecake with whipped cream using a large open star tip. Garnish with fresh fruit.
Notes
- Sprinkles: It’s best to use “jimmie” instead of nonpareils, these are my favorite ones from Walmart.
Storing
- Fridge: Keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days, but wait to add whipped cream until serving.
- To freeze, chill it in the fridge for 3–4 hours first, then wrap in two layers of plastic and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and add whipped cream before serving.
