Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press this blend firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool completely.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the sour cream, mixing to combine, followed by the eggs one at a time. Beat until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter over the cooled crust. Bake for 40 minutes, until the center has a slight jiggle. Allow it to cool completely.
  4. Blend the fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor until pureed. Strain the mixture to remove seeds.
  5. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let it bloom for five minutes. Heat until completely dissolved, then stir into the raspberry puree.
  6. Fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream. Spread this mousse over the cooled cheesecake base and refrigerate for at least four hours.
  7. Garnish with fresh raspberries before serving. Slice and enjoy the layered delight!

Notes

Ensure to use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and color. Be patient with cooling times to allow proper setting for the mousse.
