Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup raspberry puree (fresh or frozen raspberries blended and strained)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¼ cup powdered sugar

How to Make Raspberry Glazed Cheesecake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and heavy cream until combined. Gradually add this to the cream cheese mixture, beating until smooth.
6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour.
8. After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9. To make the raspberry glaze, blend the raspberry puree with powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake just before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Do not overmix after adding the eggs to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
• Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to minimize cracking.
• For an extra touch, garnish with fresh raspberries or whipped cream.

Easy Variations

• Swap the raspberry puree for other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
• Add a hint of lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for a citrus twist.
• Incorporate chocolate chips into the cheesecake for a chocolate-raspberry combo.

What to Serve With It

• Freshly whipped cream for a creamy topping.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• A side of fresh berries to enhance the dessert’s fruitiness.
