- Filling: Break the white chocolate into pieces, transfer to a bowl, melt it in a hot water bath until smooth.
- Grind the curd cheese in a grinder, add eggs, egg white, butter, pour in cream, sprinkle sugar and pudding, briefly mix only until combined to avoid unnecessarily aerating the mixture, finally pour in the melted white chocolate and mix.
- Pour onto the chocolate crust. Place the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 160°C and bake for another 30 minutes – watch to prevent the cheesecake from browning, it should remain white! If necessary, cover the top with aluminum foil. Completely cool after baking.
- White Chocolate Cream: Bring the heavy cream to a boil, let it cool slightly, add broken chocolate pieces, leave for a moment to dissolve, then mix until smooth. Chill in the fridge overnight. The next day, add mascarpone cheese to the mixture and whisk until fluffy cream is obtained, spread it over the cold cheesecake, decorate with grated chocolate and pralines.
