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
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
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.
Make the filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla, mixing until well-blended.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
Pour the batter over the crust in your springform pan.
Bake for about 55-60 minutes. The center should be set but slightly jiggly.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
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.
Strain if desired and remove seeds.
Serve topped with raspberry sauce.
