Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
For the Filling
  • 4 packages cream cheese, softened (8 oz each)
  • 1.25 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup raspberry puree (strained to remove seeds)
For the Topping
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Incorporate sour cream and vanilla extract, blending well. Add eggs one by one, mixing just enough to combine. Fold in flour delicately.
  4. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Spoon half of the raspberry puree over the top and swirl with a knife. Repeat with the remaining mixture and raspberry puree.
Baking
  1. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for one hour.
Cooling and Topping
  1. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
  2. Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cooled cheesecake and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.
