Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream, whipped
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Flavor and Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) raspberry puree
- Fresh raspberries
- Lemon slices
Instructions
- Craft a sturdy foundation by pulverizing graham crackers and blending them with melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Press the crumbly mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan, creating an even, compact layer that will support the creamy filling.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator to solidify while preparing the filling.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until velvety smooth, gradually incorporating sugar to create a silky texture.
- Infuse the mixture with vibrant lemon zest, tangy lemon juice, and aromatic vanilla extract, blending until the ingredients are harmoniously combined.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese base, creating a light, airy consistency that will provide a delicate structure to the dessert.
- Transfer the luxurious filling onto the chilled crust, spreading it evenly to ensure a perfect distribution.
- Artfully drizzle raspberry puree across the surface, using a toothpick to create elegant swirls that marble the creamy landscape.
- Carefully place the cheesecake in the refrigerator, allowing it to set and develop its flavors for a minimum of four hours or preferably overnight.
- Just before serving, embellish with fresh, plump raspberries and delicate lemon slices to enhance both visual appeal and taste.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use fresh, high-quality raspberries for the most vibrant and intense flavor in the puree.
- Chill the springform pan beforehand to help the crust set faster and more firmly.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs.
