Raspberry Cream Cheese Dessert

 

Two of my favorite items to eat are Raspberries and cheesecake. Unfortunately, I don't always have time to make a fresh cheesecake, so instead I love to make a quick Raspberry Cream Cheese Dessert. Indulge in this creamy raspberry dessert! It's a refreshing, no-bake delight that perfectly balances tart and sweet. With a smooth filling on a buttery graham cracker crust, it’s sure to impress at any gathering or as a home treat. Did you know cheesecake dates back to Ancient Greece? It evolved through many cultures before becoming the rich cream cheese version we love today!

In the heart of Scotland, cranachan captures tradition with its luscious blend of whipped cream, raspberries, oatmeal, honey, and whisky—perfect for savoring after August’s raspberry harvest!

Fast forward to today! The creamy joy of raspberry cream cheese desserts combines rich flavors in no-bake masterpieces. Think of graham cracker crusts or decadent layers that bring cheesecake vibes—delightful indulgence awaits!

Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

Filling

1 package (10 ounces) frozen raspberries, thawed

1/4 cup cold water

1 envelope unflavored gelatin

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Fresh raspberries and mint

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and butter. Press onto the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool.

Meanwhile, for filling, drain raspberries, reserving the juice. Set berries aside. In a small saucepan, combine the juice, cold water, and gelatin. Let it stand for 5 minutes.

Cook and stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from the heat; cool for 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add berries and gelatin mixture; beat on low until thoroughly blended. Chill until partially set. Watch carefully, as the mixture will set up quickly.

Gently fold in whipped cream. Spoon into the crust. Chill for 6 hours or overnight.

Just before serving, run the knife around the edge of the pan to loosen. Remove the side of the pan. Top with fresh raspberries and mint.
