Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• ¼ cup granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Raspberry Cream Layered Dessert

1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
2. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
6. Spread half of the cream mixture over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.
7. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
8. Allow the raspberry sauce to cool slightly, then spread half of it over the cream layer in the baking dish.
9. Repeat the layers with the remaining cream mixture and raspberry sauce.
10. Top with the remaining graham cracker crumbs for a crunchy finish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Let the raspberry sauce cool before layering to prevent it from melting the cream layer.
• If you want a thicker raspberry layer, let the sauce simmer a little longer until it reduces more.

Easy Variations

• Swap raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.
• Add a layer of lemon curd for a zesty addition.
• For a chocolate lover’s version, mix cocoa powder into the cream layer.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce
• Coffee or tea to complement the dessert
