Raspberry Cheesecake Pie
Cynthia Bowan
This cheesecake is so tasty, especially with a chocolate crust.
- 12 oz cream cheese (1.5 blocks)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh, or frozen and thawed)
- 1 pre-made chocolate cookie or graham cracker pie crust
- chocolate syrup or hot fudge topping
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, vanilla, and eggs until smooth. With mixer running, slowly add sugar until dissolved.
You can either gently fold in raspberries to keep whole pieces of fruit, or you can beat in raspberries with the mixer to make a smooth pink cheesecake.
Pour filling into pre-made pie crust and smooth with a spatula. Bake at 325 degrees for about 30-35 minutes until almost firm. Pie should jiggle a just little bit but it will finish setting up as it cools. Cool for 1 hour on the counter, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Keep cold until serving. Garnish with whole raspberries, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream Enjoy!
