Ingredients

• For the Crust:
• - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the Filling:
• - 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/2 cup heavy cream
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Raspberry Swirl:
• - 1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed
• - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking dish. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and fluffy.
3. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
4. In a blender or food processor, puree the thawed raspberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds.
5. In a small bowl, combine the raspberry puree, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix.
6. Use a spoon to drop dollops of the raspberry mixture onto the cream cheese filling. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the raspberry mixture into the cream cheese, creating a marbled effect.
7. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
8. Before serving, let the cheesecake squares thaw for a few minutes at room temperature. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares.
9. Serve the Frozen Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Squares chilled and enjoy!
