Crust

Raspberry Coulis

Method

Crust

1

Prepare the crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

Cheesecake Filling

2

Make the cheesecake filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, sour cream, limoncello, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth. Pour the filling over the prepared crust.

3

Bake the cheesecake

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour.

4

Chill

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

Raspberry Coulis

5

Prepare the raspberry coulis

In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Let it cool.

Serve

6

Serve the cheesecake

Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into pieces. Drizzle the raspberry coulis over each slice before serving.
