Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham crackers
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 450 grams cream cheese
- 120 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 120 grams golden raisins
- 240 milliliters whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and mix it with the graham cracker crumbs until evenly combined.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, followed by the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the golden raisins by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly wobbly.
Turn off the oven, open the oven door slightly, and let the pie cool gradually inside for about 20 minutes to prevent cracking.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, whip the whipping cream with the powdered sugar and cinnamon until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the chilled pie and garnish with a few extra golden raisins or a dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
Slice and serve your decadent Cream Cheese Pie with Golden Raisins. Enjoy!
