Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• ½ cup raspberry preserves
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ¼ cup water

How to Make Creamy Cheesecake with Fruit Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then set aside to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and flour until just combined.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
7. Once cooled, remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
8. For the raspberry sauce, combine the fresh raspberries, raspberry preserves, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
9. When ready to serve, slice the cheesecake and drizzle with the raspberry sauce. Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Always use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth batter.
• Avoid overmixing once the eggs are added to keep the cheesecake light.
• Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven to prevent cracking.
• Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• Swap out raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different fruit sauce.
• Add a splash of almond extract for a unique twist on the classic flavor.
• Top with whipped cream for extra indulgence.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh mint leaves for a hint of freshness.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
