Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 0.5 cup raspberry preserves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square or round pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to compact it. Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

Spread half of the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust.

Step 6

In another bowl, gently mash 1 cup of raspberries with a fork and mix them with the raspberry preserves. Spread this raspberry mixture over the cream layer.

Step 7

Top with the remaining cream cheese filling, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Decorate the top with the remaining fresh raspberries, arranging them in a decorative pattern.

Step 9

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Raspberry Dream Delight!
