This Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake combines a creamy, tangy lemon-flavored cream cheese filling with fresh raspberries for a delightful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Baked to perfection and chilled before serving, it offers a smooth texture with a refreshing fruity twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract for a fresh and tangy flavor.
  3. Assemble and bake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Gently scatter fresh raspberries evenly over the filling. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  4. Chill before serving: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Do not overbake; slight jiggle in the center is ideal to prevent cracks.
  • Use fresh raspberries for best taste and texture.
  • For easier removal, run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform.
