Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1/2 cup (50g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (132g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (108g) granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 8 oz block full fat cream cheese, room temp
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries (or 2 cups frozen thawed)
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (210g) granulated sugar + 1 tsp (for the raspberries)
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together room-temperature butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, cornstarch, and salt; mix until combined. Press into a lined baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  2. For the filling, beat together granulated sugar, lemon zest, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the cooled crust.
  3. In another bowl, mix raspberries with lemon juice, eggs, granulated sugar (set aside 1 tsp), and flour; gently fold in berries. Spoon this mixture over the cheesecake layer.
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before slicing.
