Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 2 cups crackers
  • 1/2 cup butter

For the Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake

For Raspberry Sauce

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Grind the crackers, add the melted butter and mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Line an 8-inch diameter spring form pan with foil in several layers.
  • Transfer the cracker mixture into the pan to form the bottom and sides. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 F. Remove and let cool.
  • For the sauce. Mix raspberries with sugar in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries become soft.
  • Leave some fresh raspberries for decoration.
  • Strain raspberries through a sieve.
  • Return the juice to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until it has evaporated - it should be very viscous and syrupy but not jammy. Leave some for adding to the filling and some for decoration.
  • Mix cream cheese with a whisk. Add room temperature yogurt, vanilla and lemon extracts, powdered sugar and corn starch, and mix until smooth.
  • Add room-temperature eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
  • Add two tablespoons of the raspberry sauce.
  • Mix well and pour the filling over the cooled base.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 325 F. Cool, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Add fresh raspberries to the rest of the sauce, and mix gently.
  • Before serving, decorate the top of the cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Add a few mint leaves.
