How to Make Layered Raspberry Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine crust ingredients (see recipe below) and press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a medium bowl, stir raspberry Jell-O into 1 cup of boiling water until completely dissolved.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitute to taste) until dissolved.
  6. Gently fold in 1 (6 ounce) package of fresh raspberries and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  7. Chill the raspberry mixture until softly set, about 1-1.5 hours. Keep an eye on it – you want it set but still pourable.
  8. Once softly set, carefully pour the raspberry mixture over the completely cooled crust and spread evenly.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  10. In a large bowl, beat together 1 (16 ounce) package of light cream cheese, and 2 tablespoons of cold whipping cream until smooth.
  11. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or sugar substitute to taste).
  12. In a separate bowl, beat the remaining 1 cup of cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  13. Gently fold the whipped cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.
  14. Carefully layer the cream cheese mixture on top of the raspberry layer and spread evenly.
  15. Cover with foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  16. Store in the refrigerator. Serve chilled and enjoy!
