Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • ¼ cup sugar

Cheesecake Layer

Raspberry Sauce

Brown Sugar Pecan Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a pie dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.

Graham Cracker Crust

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Mix until well combined and mixture is a sand-like texture that clumps together.
  • Pour crust mixture into the prepared baking dish and press down with the back of a measuring cup.
  • Bake the crust in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Cheesecake Layer

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add in eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until completely mixed and smooth.
  • Pour cream cheese mixture on top of baked crust and spread out evenly.

Raspberry Sauce

  • In a medium size saucepan, add 1 cup raspberries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well. Cook over low-medium heat until mixture becomes a sauce. Remove from heat, add in 1⁄4 cup of remaining raspberries and mix.
  • Spoon sauce on top of cream cheese mixture, and swirl sauce with mixture using a toothpick or knife.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of raspberries on top.

Brown Sugar Pecan Topping

  • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and melted butter.
  • Spoon topping over cheesecake, evenly spreading over the entire thing.
  • Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
