Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.

Cool and Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Red Raspberry Sauce
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Cool before serving.
