Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a stand mixer or hand mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove seeds, then let it cool to room temperature.
Spread the cooled raspberry sauce over the cream cheese filling layer. Decorate the torte with the remaining 1 cup of fresh raspberries on top.
Chill the torte in the refrigerator for another 1-2 hours before serving.
Carefully remove the springform pan sides, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy!
