Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown, then let it cool completely.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until creamy.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Gently fold in fresh raspberries and all-purpose flour into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring not to overmix. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
Bake
  1. Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool and Chill
  1. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve
  1. Release the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges. Top each slice with fresh raspberries before serving.
