  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • Juice of 1 lemon

For the Lemon Swirl:

For the Raspberry Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup raspberry puree
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Yellow and red food coloring (optional)

For Garnish:

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust.
  • For the lemon swirl: mix lemon curd and lemon juice. For the raspberry swirl: combine raspberry puree and sugar. Add food coloring if desired.
  • Drop spoonfuls of lemon and raspberry mixtures onto the cheesecake. Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool with the door ajar. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Garnish with lemon zest curls, fresh raspberries, and whipped cream.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to ensure a smooth filling.
  • The cheesecake can be made a day ahead for easier preparation.
