Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for crust)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan.
  3. Make the filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla, mixing until well-blended.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter over the crust in your springform pan.
  7. Bake for about 55-60 minutes. The center should be set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. For the raspberry sauce: Combine raspberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes.
  10. Strain if desired and remove seeds.
  11. Serve topped with raspberry sauce.

Notes
