Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Recipe

#entertainingwithbeth #CookingChannel #RaspberryCheesecake
This raspberry swirl cheesecake recipe is a fantastic cheesecake recipe for Valentine’s Day. It’s rich, and creamy and completely decadent with its chocolate cookie crust, and raspberry sauce. It’s also a cheesecake recipe that doesn’t require a water bath thanks to my secret ingredient.

INGREDIENTS:
CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST:
1 cup (100g) chocolate cookie crumbs (20 Famous Chocolate Wafers)
2 tsp (8.4g) sugar (omit if using Oreos they are sweet enough)
3 Tbsp (45ml) melted butter
Pinch of salt

FILLING:
2-12 oz (680g) whipped cream cheese
¾ cup (180 ml) of sour cream
1 cup (216g) of sugar
¼ teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
2 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
1 Tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
¼ cup (30 g) of flour

RASPBERRY SWIRL:
12 ounces raspberries (save 3 raspberries for the garnish!)
1 Tbsp (12.6g) sugar

GARNISH:
Fresh mint sprigs

METHOD:
Bring sour cream and cream cheese to room temperature.
Separate egg yolks and bring them to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350F.

Spray a 9″ cheesecake pan with baking spray and set aside.
In a food processor, process the chocolate wafers into a fine crumb. Then add the sugar and butter and process until combined. Place crumbs in the cheesecake pan, and shake pan to level out. Then tamp down the crumbs with a 1-cup measuring cup or glass.

Bake the crust for 7-9 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and set aside to cool.

Reduce oven to 325F to come down in temperature in preparation for baking the cheesecake.

Set aside 3 raspberries of the same height and size, for the garnish.
Place the raspberries in a clean food processor, add the sugar. Pulse until pureed.

Place a fine mesh sieve over a medium-sized bowl. Pour the raspberry puree into the sieve and work it through with a spatula to extract the juice and separate the seeds. Discard seeds and set the juice aside.
To prepare the filling, beat the cream cheese with the sugar. Then add the whole eggs, one at a time beating in between each addition.

Then add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating in between each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the sour cream, beat to combine.

Then add the vanilla and the salt, beat to combine.

Then add the flour, gently beat to combine, scrape down the bowl, and beat a final time.

Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan. Shake the pan gently to level out the batter.

Dollop approximately 1 teaspoon of raspberry puree all over the cheesecake, leaving some white areas in between for contrast. Do not use all the puree, the rest is for serving on top of the cheesecake.

Take a wooden skewer, and with the pointy side, run it through the dots of puree creating decorative swirls. Stop when you are happy with it.
Bake at 325F for 45 mins. Do Not Open the door!

Then turn the oven OFF. Do not open the door! And allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 30 minutes. It will continue to bake through and set.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes

Refrigerate uncovered, for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight is even better!

Garnish the cake with 3 raspberries and a sprig of mint in the center.
Serve with the raspberry puree spooned over the top of each slice, and garnish each plate with fresh mint.
