Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • ½ cup raspberry puree (for swirl)
  • Fresh raspberries and lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Drizzle the raspberry puree over the top. Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the raspberry puree into the cheesecake for a beautiful marbled effect.
  5. Chill and set: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and lemon slices for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese: This ensures a smoother, creamier filling. Cold cream cheese can result in a lumpy texture.
  • Control the swirl: Don’t overmix the raspberry puree into the filling—this keeps the swirl effect visible and visually appealing.
  • Chill for the right time: Let the cheesecake set for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. This ensures it holds together when you slice it.
