Ingredients
  

Raspberry Lemon Sauce
  • 400 g frozen raspberries
  • 46 g sugar
Cheesecake (Assumed)
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs for crust
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for crust
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted, for crust
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese softened, for filling
  • 1 cup granulated sugar for filling
  • 2 large eggs for filling
  • 1/2 cup sour cream for filling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for filling
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice for filling
  • 1 tsp lemon zest for filling

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter; press into a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese with 1 cup sugar until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, then sour cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest until just combined.
  3. Pour filling over the crust. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. While cheesecake cools, combine frozen raspberries and 46g sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until raspberries break down and sauce thickens slightly. Strain if desired for a smoother sauce.
  5. Once cheesecake is cool, chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Drizzle with raspberry sauce before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps. Avoid overmixing the batter once eggs are added to prevent cracks.
