Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• Whipped cream, for topping

How to Make Caramel Cheesecake with Raspberries

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ⅓ cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Fold in the heavy cream and caramel sauce until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and creamy.
5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
8. Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh raspberries and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce. Add whipped cream around the edges for an extra touch.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure all your ingredients, especially the cream cheese, are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent cracks in your cheesecake.
• Use a water bath for baking if you want an ultra-smooth texture.

Easy Variations

• Swap the raspberries for other berries like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for a chocolate caramel cheesecake twist.
• For a salted caramel version, sprinkle sea salt over the caramel drizzle before serving.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra creamy touch.
• Fresh coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness.
• A glass of dessert wine or sparkling wine for a celebratory feel.
