A delightful dessert combining creamy cheesecake with the tartness of fresh raspberries, perfect for gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 fresh raspberries (plus more for topping)
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 2 tbsp)
- 2 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar (plus 3 tbsp)
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Raspberry Filling: In a medium pot, cook the raspberries, cold water, cornstarch, and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is bubbling and thick (about 3-4 minutes). Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, kosher salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir to combine. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Make the Cheesecake Layer: Beat the softened cream cheese with the 3/4 cup of confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Then, add 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spread this cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
- Add the Raspberry Layer: Carefully spread the cooled raspberry filling over the cream cheese layer, making sure the layers do not blend. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to a day.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Before serving, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with the 3 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread this whipped cream over the raspberry layer.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with more graham cracker crumbs and fresh raspberries. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Allow the raspberry layer to cool completely. You can substitute different fruits for variations.
