Description

A delightful pink cheesecake with a rich cream cheese base and a tangy raspberry swirl, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 24 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp raspberry puree (strained)
  • 1 tsp red food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (mashed)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in flour until smooth, then mix in heavy cream.
  4. In a small bowl, combine mashed raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the crust, swirl in some raspberry puree. Add remaining batter and top with raspberry puree, swirling gently.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve garnished with fresh raspberries or whipped cream.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Use fresh raspberries for best flavor. You can experiment with other fruit purees or add chocolate chips for variation.
