Raspberry Supreme Cheesecake Recipes

RASPBERRY-SWIRL CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap exterior of a 9-inch springform pan (including base) in a double layer of foil; set aside.
• Stir together cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• Process raspberries in a food processor until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pass puree through a fine sieve into a small bowl; discard solids. Whisk in 2 tablespoons sugar, and set aside.
• Put cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in a slow, steady stream. Add salt and vanilla; mix until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing each until just combined (do not overmix). Pour cream cheese filling over crust.
• Drop raspberry sauce by the teaspoon on top. With a wooden skewer or toothpick, swirl sauce into filling.
• Set cake pan inside a large, shallow roasting pan. Transfer to oven. Carefully ladle boiling water into roasting pan to reach halfway up sides of cake pan. Bake until cake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, 60 to 65 minutes.
• Transfer cake pan to rack; let cake cool completely. Refrigerate, uncovered, 6 hours or overnight. Before unmolding, run a knife around edge of cake.

CLASSIC CHEESECAKE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the middle-lower part of your oven.
• Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter.
• Wrap the pan in foil, making sure the bottom is completely covered. Reserve.
• Crush the graham crackers in a food processor until finely crumbed.
• Mix the crumbs and the melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Transfer that mixture to the springform pan and press evenly onto the bottom.
• Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes or until it starts to brown slightly. Take it off from oven and let it cool.
• Beat the cream cheese, the sour cream, the sugar, the cornstarch, the salt, the lemon juice and the vanilla extract until creamy and without any lumps, about 5 minutes on medium speed. Make sure you give it some extra love with a spatula, so everything gets incorporated!
• Mix the eggs, one at a time, over low speed, just until blended. The mixture should be creamy and silky.
• Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
• Set the springform pan - still wrapped in foil - in a baking dish. Fill it with enough boiling water to cover 2 inches of the bottom of the pan. Bring the whole set to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until the outside looks slightly puffed but the center is still jiggly.
• Once cheesecake is done, turn off the oven but keep the cheesecake in there, cooling for at least one hour with the oven door slightly open.
• After one hour, transfer cheesecake to a wire rack and let it cool completely before transferring it to the fridge.
• Chill the cheesecake overnight, uncovered.
• Before serving, let the cheesecake stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Unmold the cake, transfer to a serving dish and top it with the sauce.
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes or until the raspberries are broken down. If desired, pass the sauce through a strainer to remove seeds.
• Let it cool and serve over your cheesecake. If desired, decorate the top of the cheesecake with some fresh raspberries.

NO-BAKE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a couple of inches of overhang on the longer side. This will help remove the cheesecake once set.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl. Mix well and add to the bottom of the lined pan. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, then set aside.
• For the filling: Add the cream cheese, yogurt, powdered sugar and vanilla to a blender, then blend until smooth. Add to a bowl and completely fold in the whipped topping. Pour over the top of the prepared crust and smooth. Add spoonfuls of the preserves to the top and, using a skewer or knife, swirl the preserves. Grid the top with fresh raspberries. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 3 hours.
• Remove and slice into squares to serve. The cheesecake pieces can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. With your hands, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• To make the filling, cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the bowl and beater, as necessary. With the mixer on low, add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees F and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door wide. The cake will not be completely set in the center. Allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door open for 30 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature for another 2 to 3 hours, until completely cooled. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the cake from the springform pan by carefully running a hot knife around the outside of the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the springform pan for serving.
• To make the topping, melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat. In a bowl, toss the raspberries and the warm jelly gently until well mixed. Arrange the berries on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Note: Measure your springform pan. The bottom of mine measures 9 inches, but it says 9 1/2. I put the springform pan on a sheet pan before putting it in the oven to catch any leaks.

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.
