Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • ¼ cup sugar (for raspberry sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for raspberry sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for raspberry sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for raspberry sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. For the crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Press into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs one at a time, blending after each addition. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and sour cream until combined.

  5. Pour cheesecake filling into cooled crust; dollop raspberry sauce on top and swirl gently with a spatula.
  6. Bake for about 60-70 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool in the oven for one hour with the door slightly ajar before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
