Step 3: Prepare the Raspberry Sauce
Cook Raspberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and water over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Strain the Sauce: Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smooth texture.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake
Layer the Filling and Sauce: Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Drizzle half of the raspberry sauce over the filling. Add the remaining cheesecake mixture on top.
Create Swirls: Spoon the remaining raspberry sauce over the top and use a knife to swirl it into the cheesecake.
Step 5: Bake
Bake the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. The center should be slightly wobbly.
Let it Set in the Oven: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 1 hour to allow it to set slowly.
Step 6: Cool and Decorate
Cool to Room Temperature: After removing the cheesecake from the oven, allow it to cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate: Once cool, place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Decorate: Before serving, top with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and a few mint leaves for a touch of freshness.
