Simple Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake

Author: Megan

Cuisine: Dessert

Ingredients

Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup butter, melted
1-1/4 cups sugar, + 2 Tbsp, divided
3 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup raspberries

Instructions

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the graham crackers, butter and ¼ cup of sugar and press into the bottom of a 9" pie pan.
In a bowl, beat the remaining sugar and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix well again.
Slowly beat in 1 egg at a time on low speed until just mixed in the batter. Pour over the graham cracker crust.
Add half of the raspberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the bowl and mix. Using a spoon, drop dollops of sauce around the top of the cheesecake. Gently create your swirl with a toothpick or tip of a knife, being careful not to mix it too much.
Bake at least 1 hour, or until the center is almost set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool an hour.
Refrigerate the cheesecake about 4 hours or until you're ready to serve it. Garnish with remaining raspberries (optional) and slice into wedges.
