Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F (165C).
  2. Prepare a 9-inch chocolate crumb crust according to package or standard instructions and press it firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly blended and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared chocolate crumb crust.
  5. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
  7. For the mousse, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl and let stand for 1 minute to bloom.
  8. Microwave the gelatin mixture on HIGH for 30 seconds, or until completely dissolved. Alternatively, heat gently on the stove with an additional tablespoon of water.
  9. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the raspberry preserves and mix until combined. Chill this mixture for 10 minutes to slightly thicken.
  10. In a large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  11. Add the sugar to the cream and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  12. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream for the mousse layer and set aside; refrigerate the remaining whipped cream for topping later.
  13. Gently fold the chilled raspberry mixture into the measured 1 1/2 cups of whipped cream until just combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  14. Spread the raspberry mousse evenly over the chilled cheesecake, mounding it slightly in the center for an elegant presentation.
  15. Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set.
  16. To serve, cut the cheesecake into 6 slices and top each piece with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream.
