Valentine's Day Dessert (Raspberry Cheese Cake)




For Valentine's day, I prepared lovely Indian dishes. Along with that was a devine, raspberry cheese cake. I will display the Indian dishes at a later time.
Here is my simple delicious raspberry cheese cake recipe

Graham Crust

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbl. spoon unsalted butter
1 ½ Tbl. spoon white sugar

Filling

4 pkg (8oz) of cream cheese (philadelphia)
1 ½ cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 Tbl.spoon lemon juice
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven 375 degrees F
Mix graham cracker crumbs with butter
and sugar. Mix well. Press onto bottom
of 9 inch spring form pan. Bake for 7 minutes.
Set aside to cool.
Raise oven to 425 degrees F.
In large mixing bowl with electric mixer, combine
cream cheese and sugar. Beat until light and
creamy. Then add eggs, on at a time. Mix well
after each egg. Add lemon juice and vanilla.
Pour mixture over graham crust. Bake for 12 min.
Reduce oven temp. To 200 degrees F. And bake
for 1 hour. Transfer cake to cooling rack and let
Cool completely. Refrigerate for about 3 hours
before serving. To serve; top with cherry filling or
the fruit topping of your choice. I chose raspberry
for mine. Blueberry is a nice mild sweetness also.
Now your ready to cut and serve. Enjoy!
If you wanted to give your cheese cake a citrus
flavour, add zest from 1 lemon and 1 orange
to your filling.
