Step 1: Prepare the Crust

 

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Mix crust ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press into the pan: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while preparing the filling.

 

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

 

1. Beat the cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add sugar and eggs: Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating just until combined. Do not overmix.
3. Stir in sour cream and vanilla: Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Prepare the raspberry purée: If using fresh raspberries, blend them until smooth, then strain to remove the seeds. If using frozen, thaw and blend until smooth.

 

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

 

1. Layer the filling: Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the crust, smoothing the top.
2. Add raspberry purée: Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry purée over the filling. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the cheesecake.
3. Add the remaining filling: Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and repeat the swirling process with the remaining raspberry purée.

 

Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake

 

1. Prepare a water bath: Place the springform pan into a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-70 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
3. Chill: Remove from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

 

Step 5: Serve

 

1. Remove from the pan: Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
2. Garnish and slice: Top with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve.
