A luscious Raspberry Cheesecake featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy vanilla-infused cheesecake filling, and a fresh raspberry topping. This dessert perfectly balances rich creaminess with bright, fruity notes, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to blend until fully incorporated. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light texture.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
  4. Chill to Set: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure it firms up properly.
  5. Prepare the Raspberry Topping: Just before serving, toss fresh raspberries with powdered sugar in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for a few minutes so the sugar slightly dissolves and sweetens the berries.
  6. Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, top with the sweetened fresh raspberries, and slice to serve chilled. Enjoy the refreshing balance of creamy cheesecake and tart raspberries.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture in the topping.
  • For easier slicing, warm the knife slightly by running it under hot water and drying it off before cutting each slice.
  • Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
