Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure a perfectly baked crust and filling.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar, then add melted salted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand and press into the muffin tin cups.
- Blend fresh raspberries with granulated sugar until smooth, strain through a fine mesh sieve to create a silky raspberry sauce.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and flour, then mix in cream cheese and lemon zest until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in vanilla and sour cream.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the crusts, fill three-quarters full, and swirl raspberry sauce on top.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes until set with a slight jiggle. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours for the best texture before serving.
