Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen black raspberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the black raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan, combine black raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until berries break down. If thicker sauce is desired, add cornstarch slurry and cook 1-2 more minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and cool to room temperature.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth (2-3 minutes). Whip cold heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture in three additions until light and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour half the filling over the chilled crust. Spoon half the raspberry sauce in dollops and swirl gently with a knife or skewer. Repeat with remaining filling and sauce, swirling again.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  6. Serve: Run a warm knife around the pan edge before releasing. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water. Garnish with fresh raspberries or mint if desired.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Whip cream to soft peaks and fold gently to maintain airiness. Chill at least 4 hours for best texture; overnight recommended. For gluten-free crust, substitute graham crackers with almond flour or gluten-free crumbs. Coconut cream can replace heavy cream for dairy-free version.
