Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 32 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1.25 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.33 cup raspberry puree
  • 0.5 cup sour cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Press the graham and butter mixture into a springform pan and bake 10 minutes.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, vanilla, and sour cream.
  3. Pour the filling over the crust and dollop the raspberry puree on top.
  4. Drag a knife through the dollops to create a marbled swirl.
  5. Bake 60-65 minutes until set with a slight center jiggle, then cool in the oven 1 hour with the door cracked.
  6. Chill at least 6 hours before slicing.

Notes

Don't over-swirl, or the pretty marbling muddies into one color.
