Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside.
  • Prepare the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan, heat raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the raspberries break down, then strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour and swirl: Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust. Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry sauce on top of the cheesecake and swirl using a toothpick or knife.
  • Bake: Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  • Cool and chill: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, allow the cream cheese to soften completely before mixing.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon zest for a beautiful presentation.
