Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the pan.
- In a small saucepan, heat raspberry preserves over low heat until melted and smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the melted preserves onto the cream cheese mixture in the pan. Use a knife to gently swirl the preserves into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the preserves and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the springform pan onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set.
- Before serving, garnish the top with fresh raspberries.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
