For the filling:
3 packages of cream cheese (8 oz each)
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of raspberry puree (made from fresh raspberries)
For the raspberry puree:
2 cups of fresh raspberries
1/4 cup of sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Make the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
Step 2: Make the raspberry puree
In a blender or food processor, puree the raspberries and sugar until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and beat until well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and raspberry puree.
Step 4: Bake the cheesecake
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 5: Chill the cheesecake
Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, cover it and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. Slice and serve.
