Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 200g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (115g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25g)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped (225g)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (226g)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5ml)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional toppings: white chocolate shavings or curls, fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries), whipped cream, drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture resembles damp sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even layer.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool while preparing the filling.
  5. Combine chopped white chocolate and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl. Set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and stir gently until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until creamy and lump-free (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing just until combined. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, then mix again.
  8. Slowly pour the cooled white chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until smooth and even. Scrape the bowl sides to ensure everything is incorporated.
  9. Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Tap the pie on the counter to release air bubbles.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will be slightly wobbly. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  11. Let the pie cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight is best) to set.
  12. Top with white chocolate curls, whipped cream, fresh berries, or caramel drizzle as desired. Slice with a warm, sharp knife for clean edges.

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate bars for best texture. Melt chocolate gently to avoid graininess. Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly. Chill pie thoroughly before slicing for clean cuts. Adapt crust and filling for gluten-free or dairy-free diets as needed. Pie can be made a day ahead for deeper flavor.
