3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup strawberry preserves or jam
For the Topping:

PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add melted white chocolate, mixing gently until fully incorporated. Finally, add eggs one at a time, blending just until combined.
Layer with Strawberry Jam: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Spoon dollops of strawberry preserves over the filling, then gently swirl with a knife. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and smooth out.
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
