Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/2 cup melted butter
– 2 cups cream cheese
– 1 cup sugar
– 3 eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup raspberry jam
– Fresh raspberries for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a baking dish to create the crust.
2. Create the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble & Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam onto the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it through the cheesecake layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden.
4. Cool & Chill: Remove from the oven and let the bars cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Slice the chilled cheesecake into bars and garnish each piece with fresh raspberries before serving.
