Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
For Topping:
- Caramel sauce
Directions
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth texture.
- Gently fold in the sour cream until fully combined.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
- Spoon the peach preserves evenly over the batter, creating a fruity layer.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top, smoothing it out to cover the preserves.
Bake:
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes. The center should be almost set, with a slight jiggle in the middle when done.
- Let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Chill:
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
Serve:
- Once fully chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Top the cheesecake with fresh raspberries and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy this indulgent dessert!
