Cheesecake is a long-time dessert favorite, luscious and rich dessert for many especially among the teen and housewife. This fruity twist on the traditional treat is absolutely exquisite. Here are some simple helpful tips to help you create your own raspberry cheesecake. The thing that you need are two cups of raspberries, 2/3-cup sugar , two table spoon of graham cracker or vanilla wafer crumbs, two large eggs, 2-12 containers of light cream cheese, two table spoon of vanilla extract, one cup of light sour cream and two table spoon of cornstarch.

First step, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottom and sides of a spring-form pan with cooking spray. Using a spoon, press the wafer crumbs to the bottom and sides of the pan. Second, combine cream cheese, cornstarch, vanilla extract, eggs, sour cream and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Use an electric mixer for best results. Third, puree one cup of raspberries in a food processor. Pick out and discard the seeds. Add the raspberry puree to the cheesecake mixture. Use a fork to swirl the raspberry puree into the batter. The cheesecake will be more aesthetically pleasing this way than if you stir the puree into the batter. Then, pour the mixture into the greased pan. Bake for approximately 50 minutes. Let the cheesecake cool for two hours at room temperature. Keep the cheesecake refrigerated for several hours or overnight. After that, remove the rim of the spring-form pan and use the remaining one cup of raspberries to decorate the top of the cheesecake. Lastly, serve chilled or microwave for 20 seconds to warm. Vanilla ice cream is an excellent complement to this decadent treat.

There are a lot of tips in order to make a very delicious cheese cake. To soften the cream cheese we must place completely unwrapped packages of cream cheese in microwavable bowl and microwave on high 30 to 45 second or until slightly softened. Beside than, avoid over-beating the batter. Over-beating incorporates additional air and tends to cause cracking on the surface of the cheesecake. Then, cool the cheesecake on a wire rack away from drafts. After it is has cooled completely, gently loosen the entire side of the cheesecake from the pan with the tip of a knife while slowly releasing the spring form pan clamp. Carefully remove the side of the pan. While, to avoid the cake from crack, be sure to mix your cheesecake batter well, eliminating all possible lumps in the cream cheese before you add the eggs. It is the eggs that will hold air in the batter, so add them last, and mix as little as possible once they are in the mix.
