Print Recipe

A luscious dessert bar featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake layer, sweet-tart raspberry topping, and a golden crumbly streusel. Perfectly balanced and ideal for serving at parties, brunches, or as a special treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ cups fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Press 3/4 of the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Reserve the rest for topping.
  3. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the crust.
  4. In a small saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until thickened slightly. Spoon evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  5. Sprinkle remaining crust mixture over the top as a crumble.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool completely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • Chill bars thoroughly for clean, neat slices.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Substitute raspberries with blueberries or strawberries if desired.
