Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 cup fresh raspberries

How to Make Caramel Cheesecake with Raspberries
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the granulated sugar and beat until well combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until smooth.
- Pour in the heavy cream and caramel sauce, and mix just until combined.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, top with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Avoid overmixing once the eggs are added to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
- Use a water bath for baking to keep the cheesecake moist and minimize cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool gradually to room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel for a salted caramel version.
- Swirl in some chocolate ganache for a rich, chocolatey flavor.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess.
- A cup of coffee or espresso to complement the sweetness.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
