Steps:
- Grease a 9 in springform pan (I use Pam but butter will also work) and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Press graham cracker mixture into the springform pan, packing it in firmly*.
- Bake crust in preheated oven for 8 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (or just leave on after baking the crust). Make sure the oven rack is in the center of the oven.
- In a microwave safe dish combine white chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until smooth. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand-up mixer combine granulated sugar, and cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Add in the melted white chocolate mixture, mixing until combined. Scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.
- Once white chocolate mixture is fully incorporated, add in the eggs one at a time. Let each egg become fully incorporated before adding the next. Scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.
- After the eggs are mixed in, add the vanilla, and mix until combined.
- Using foil, wrap the bottom of your spring form pan that has the baked crust in it. - this will help keep the water out. *
- Then pour the cheesecake batter into the springform pan.
- Place the cheesecake pan in a large roasting pan and pour boiling water into the roasting pan (making sure not to get water on the cheesecake). You want the water to reach ~2 inches up the side of the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake (in the roasting pan/water bath) at 350°F for 15 minutes then reduce the oven temperature to 225°F and bake for another 90 minutes. After 90 minutes turn your oven off and allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature* (this will take an hour or more). When you first turn the oven off the cheesecake will jiggle significantly. After it comes to room temperature it will still have a slight jiggle. (see video for example). I also like to crack the oven door just slightly so it lets the hot air out a little faster.
- Once at room temperature, refrigerate for 2 hours to allow it to completely set (aka no more jiggle).
- In a medium size saucepan, over medium heat, add blackberries, granulated sugar, and dessert wine. Bring to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Then remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl combine cornstarch and water, whisking to fully combine.
- Stir cornstarch mixture into blackberry mixture. Then stir in vanilla and salt.
- You can use the sauce as is or puree it a bit with either an immersion blender, or a regular blender. I typically blend it a little but still like to keep larger pieces of blackberries in it too.

Tips:
- For a smoother cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- Use high-quality white chocolate to ensure the best flavor. If you can't find white chocolate chips, you can use a white chocolate bar, finely chopped.
- Don't overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Be patient when baking the cheesecake. It needs to bake until the center is just set. If you overbake it, the cheesecake will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
- When chilling the cheesecake, cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the surface from drying out.
- If you don't have individual serving cups, you can bake the cheesecake in a 9-inch springform pan. Just increase the baking time to 50-60 minutes.
