Instructions

Prepare the raspberry swirl by simmering raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Strain and set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl; press into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; gradually add sugar. Mix in sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract before adding eggs one at a time.
Pour cheesecake filling over the crust; drop spoonfuls of raspberry sauce on top and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until slightly jiggly in the center; cool in the oven for an hour.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
