Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups Raspberry jam
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the raspberry topping.
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry jam, cornstarch, and cold water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts bubbling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, being gentle to avoid breaking them up.
Spread the raspberry mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Slice into squares, serve, and enjoy your Raspberry Dream Dessert!
