Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Fresh raspberries, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, mix together raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the raspberries break down. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  3. In another saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour half of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
  4. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour half of the custard mixture onto the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Spoon half of the raspberry sauce on top and swirl it with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining custard and raspberry sauce. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  7. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Slice and enjoy!
