✨ Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- For the Pink Velvet Cheesecake:
- 24 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp raspberry puree (strained)
- 1 tsp red food coloring (optional)
- For the Raspberry Swirl:
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (mashed)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
✨ Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust:Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then set aside to cool.
2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Batter:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the flour until smooth. Stir in heavy cream until fully combined.
3️⃣ Make the Raspberry Swirl:
In a small bowl, combine mashed raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Strain the mixture to remove seeds and get a smooth puree.
4️⃣ Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Swirl in some of the raspberry puree and gently swirl with a knife. Add the remaining cheesecake batter and top with the rest of the raspberry puree, swirling once more. If you’re using food coloring, mix it into the batter for a pink tint before pouring it into the pan.
5️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake:
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour. Then, chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice, serve, and enjoy this decadent, velvety raspberry cheesecake!
π‘ Tip: Garnish with fresh raspberries or whipped cream for a beautiful presentation.
