Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Pink Velvet Raspberry Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden, then allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before adding the filling.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, taking about 2-3 minutes. Gradually mix in the sugar, raspberry puree, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
- Pour the filling over your cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for one hour with the oven door ajar.
- For the raspberry glaze, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberry puree, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool before pouring over the cooled cheesecake.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Carefully remove the springform pan and garnish with freshly whipped cream and extra raspberries before serving.

Notes
Using fresh ingredients and preventing overmixing can help achieve the best texture. Chill the cheesecake overnight for optimal flavor.
