🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream, cold
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 3 tablespoons Raspberry jam
• 0.5 cup Fresh raspberries, for garnish
• 4 slices Lemon slices, for garnish
• 8 leaves Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to ensure an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until combined and smooth.

5. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Fold until fully incorporated.

7. Fold in the fresh raspberries and raspberry jam gently, creating a marbled effect if desired.

8. Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

9. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the cheesecake to set.

10. Once set, remove the springform pan's ring. Garnish the top with fresh raspberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves (if using). Slice and serve chilled.
