Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with the lemon juice.
  7. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Dollop spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture over the cream cheese.
  8. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the raspberry dollops. Gently swirl the raspberry mixture into the cream cheese using a knife or skewer.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  10. Let the cheesecake bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang and slicing into bars.

Notes

  • For a smoother swirl, you can strain the raspberries to remove seeds before mashing.
  • If you prefer a firmer cheesecake, you can bake for a few extra minutes.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and lump-free filling.
