Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a springform pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and half the sugar. Press into the bottom of the pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and sour cream until combined.
  4. For the raspberry swirl, cook raspberries, remaining sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Cool slightly.
  5. Pour cheesecake filling into the cooled crust and dollop raspberry sauce on top; gently swirl with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes until just set in the center. Cool gradually in the oven before chilling in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
