Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, chilled
• 2 cups Fresh raspberries
• 0.5 cups Raspberry jam
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the raspberry topping.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine the raspberry jam, cornstarch, and cold water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, being gentle to avoid breaking them up.

Step 9

Spread the raspberry mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Step 10

Slice into squares, serve, and enjoy your Raspberry Dream Dessert!
