Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Mix the chocolate wafer crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter together until the texture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
-
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 300ðF (150ðC).
-
In a large mixer bowl, beat 19 oz of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add 1 cup of sugar to the cream cheese, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of seedless raspberry jam, and 2-4 tablespoons of raspberry liqueur (Chambord).
-
Beat in 3 eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
-
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
-
Bake until the center is firm but still has a slight jiggle, approximately 1 hour.
-
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes to prevent cracking.
-
Remove from the oven and cool completely to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing and serving.
