Baked Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Recipes

RASPBERRY-LEMON CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F with oven rack in middle of oven. Lightly coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, almonds, and 3 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium bowl until well blended. Stir in melted butter until mixture is thoroughly combined. Press mixture into bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Cool crust completely in pan on a wire rack, about 20 minutes.
• Microwave raspberry jam in a microwavable bowl on HIGH for 15 seconds; remove and stir. (This will loosen up the jam, making it easier to swirl into batter.) Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Double wrap outside of springform pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, making sure to come completely up sides of pan. Beat cream cheese with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition. Add lemon zest and juice, and beat on low speed just until combined. Beat in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract on low speed just until combined, about 1 minute. Pour cheesecake batter over crust in prepared pan.
• Dollop raspberry jam over cheesecake batter using a teaspoon, and swirl jam into batter using a wooden pick or tip of a paring knife.
• Place springform pan in a large roasting pan. Place roasting pan in middle of oven, and pour hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake at 325°F until center is slightly jiggly, about 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Turn oven off; open oven door partially (about 4 inches), and let cheesecake stand in open oven for 1 hour. Remove cheesecake from oven, and remove aluminum foil. Place on a wire rack, and gently run a paring knife around outer edge of cheesecake to loosen from sides of pan. (Do not remove sides of pan.) Cool completely on wire rack, about 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. Remove sides of pan, and serve.

BAKED RASPBERRY & LEMON CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/gas and line the base of a 20cm round springform tin with greaseproof paper. Crush the biscuits in a food processor or in a food bag using a rolling pin. Tip into a bowl with the melted butter and mix well. Push the biscuits into an even layer into the base of the cake tin and chill until needed.
• In a separate bowl use an electric whisk to beat the soft cheese with the sugar. Next beat in the yoghurt then the eggs one at a time. Finally beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice and flour. Fold through two thirds of the raspberries crushing them very slightly so they start to bleed into the mix then tip the mix on top of the biscuit base and smooth over the top. Bake for 45 mins to an hour, then turn off the oven, leave the cake inside for another hour then cool at room temperature. Chill overnight. To serve, remove from tin, scatter with remaining raspberries and dust heavily with icing sugar.
