Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Whipped cream, for garnish
  • Additional fresh raspberries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the raspberries (5 minutes): In a small bowl, combine the fresh raspberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Gently mash the raspberries and set aside.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Prepare the graham cracker layer (3 minutes): In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
  4. Assemble the desserts (10 minutes): In individual serving glasses, start with a layer of the mashed raspberries, followed by the cheesecake filling, and then top with the graham cracker mixture. Repeat the layers if the glasses are large enough.
  5. Garnish (2 minutes): Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh raspberries.

Notes

To perfect this no-bake upside-down raspberry cheesecake, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before beating it to avoid lumps.

You can adjust the sweetness of the raspberry layer by adding more or less sugar according to your taste.

For added flavor, consider mixing a little lemon zest into the cheesecake filling.

These desserts pair wonderfully with a glass of sparkling wine or a hot cup of coffee. For a fun twist, try using different berries or adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top.
