Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
  6. In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry preserves over low heat until melted and smooth.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry preserves onto the cheesecake batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the raspberry preserves into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  8. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until chilled and set.
  11. Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan before slicing and serving.
