Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the Raspberry Topping:
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the raspberry topping by combining raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch mixture in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
Once the cheesecake is done, let it cool before adding the raspberry topping.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese.
Feel free to substitute with other berries for the topping.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
