Cheesecake Batter
- 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the cheesecake batter, being careful not to break them up too much to maintain their shape.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the batter into a prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool Completely: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
- Do not overmix once the raspberries are folded in to keep the berries intact.
- Baking times may vary depending on oven; check for a slight jiggle in the center for perfect doneness.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly for best texture and flavor.
- Optional: Use a water bath while baking to prevent cracking and maintain moisture.
