Equipment

  • Food processor
  • 9" Springform Pan
  • small saucepan
  • mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • large pan for water bath
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 2 cups graham crackers 15 whole sheets
  • cup brown sugar
  • cup melted butter

Cheesecake:

  • 32 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Raspberry swirl:

  • 1 ½ cups frozen raspberries
  • cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and brown sugar until you achieve fine crumbs.
  • Pour in the melted butter and pulse until butter is mixed and starts to pull away from the sides.
  • Spread into the bottom of a 9” springform pan and press firmly.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • Mix the water and cornstarch and stir until dissolved.
  • In a small saucepan place the raspberries, mixed cornstarch, sugar and lemon juice.
  • Simmer over low for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Once it starts to thicken, remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • To make the filling, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well each time you add an egg.
  • Add in the vanilla and lemon extracts and the salt and beat until the cheesecake is very smooth and creamy.
  • Pour about ⅔ of the cheesecake into the pan. Top with ½ of the raspberry mix and swirl with a skewer.
  • Repeat with the remaining cheesecake filling and the raspberries.
  • Place in a silicone cheesecake holder, or wrap the springform pan well with foil to prevent water seeping in.
  • Place in a water bath and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 6 hours, best if left overnight.
  • Run a knife around the edges to release the cake.
  • Slice and enjoy!
