RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- To make the crust, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. With your hands, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
- To make the filling, cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the bowl and beater, as necessary. With the mixer on low, add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees F and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door wide. The cake will not be completely set in the center. Allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door open for 30 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature for another 2 to 3 hours, until completely cooled. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the cake from the springform pan by carefully running a hot knife around the outside of the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the springform pan for serving.
- To make the topping, melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat. In a bowl, toss the raspberries and the warm jelly gently until well mixed. Arrange the berries on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Note: Measure your springform pan. The bottom of mine measures 9 inches, but it says 9 1/2. I put the springform pan on a sheet pan before putting it in the oven to catch any leaks.
Tips:
- For a richer cheesecake flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
- To make the cheesecake filling smoother, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the crust.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead. Just be sure to trim the edges of the graham cracker crust so that it fits snugly into the pie plate.
- To make the raspberry sauce, you can use fresh or frozen raspberries. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them before making the sauce.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, add a tablespoon of raspberry liqueur to the sauce.
- To make the whipped cream, use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will help the whipped cream hold its shape.
- For a fun and festive presentation, garnish the floats with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
Conclusion:
Raspberry cheesecake floats are a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give raspberry cheesecake floats a try!
