Description

These Easy Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake Bars combine a creamy lemon cheesecake filling with a sweet raspberry swirl on a buttery graham cracker crust, making them perfect for parties or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (6g) lemon zest
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or thawed raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until finely crushed. Combine crumbs with melted butter and sugar. Press firmly into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool.
  3. Blend raspberries with sugar until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds (optional).
  4. Beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Dollop raspberry puree on top and use a toothpick to create swirls.
  6. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth filling. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the bars to set properly. For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
