Ingredients

• 200 grams graham crackers
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 250 grams cream cheese
• 200 milliliters heavy whipping cream
• 100 grams powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 300 grams fresh raspberries
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then pour it into the crushed graham crackers. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate to set while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spread the cream layer evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Return to the fridge to chill while preparing the raspberry topping.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine half of the raspberries (150 grams), granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and form a sauce (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Once cooled, spread the raspberry sauce over the cream layer. Top with the remaining fresh raspberries, arranging them evenly for a vibrant presentation.

Step 8

Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) to set completely. When ready to serve, release the springform pan and slice into wedges. Enjoy your Raspberry Heaven!
