Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the raspberries and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Cook until the raspberries break down, about 5-7 minutes.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, leaving a smooth sauce. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Fold in the sour cream until fully combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Spoon small dollops of the raspberry sauce over the filling, then use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the sauce gently into decorative patterns.
Bake the cheesecake pie for 45 minutes, or until the outer edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven and leave the pie to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
