Ingredients
Cookie base
- 1 cup cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter melted
Cheesecake filling
- 16 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry compote
- 3 cups raspberries for the compote
- 1/2 cup raspberries for decorating
Instructions
- Grease and line with parchment paper an 8 x 8 inch deep sided baking pan. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.
- Make the crust by combining the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Stir to combine. Press the crumbs firmly and evenly into the prepared 8 inch square pan. Cover and refrigerate while you make the filling.
- For Filling: In bowl of your electric mixer place the cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. This will only take a couple of minutes. As you are mixing, scrape down the sides as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the whipping cream and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated. Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the filling.
- Make the raspberry compote by adding the raspberries to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Mash the raspberries and cook them down for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain out the seeds. Return the compote to the heat for a few minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat.
- Drizzle the compote over the cheesecake. Using a sharp knife, swirl the compote into the cheesecake. Top with the extra fresh raspberries.
- Bake between 50 – 55 minutes until the cheesecake is baked through and a little wobbly in the centre.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about one hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before cutting.
