Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups digestive biscuits, crushed

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Raspberry Layer:

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

For the Cheesecake Filling:

24 oz (3 packs) cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

½ cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons raspberry puree (from the raspberry layer)

1 tablespoon pink gel food coloring (adjust for desired color)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.

- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

Make the Raspberry Layer:

- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Stir gently until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

- Remove from heat and strain the raspberry mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Measure out 2 tablespoons for the cheesecake filling and set aside the rest to cool completely.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.

- Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix well.

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

- Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, heavy cream, raspberry puree, and pink gel food coloring until fully combined and smooth.

Assemble and Bake:

- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, then gently spoon half of the cooled raspberry mixture over the filling. Use a knife or skewer to swirl lightly.

- Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the first layer, followed by the remaining raspberry mixture. Swirl again lightly for a marbled effect.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour.

Chill:

- After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.

Serve:

- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with fresh raspberries and a drizzle of raspberry sauce if desired.
