Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for meringue)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a springform pan and set aside.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into the base of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Gently fold in raspberries, then pour the mixture over the crust.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is just set. Allow to cool before topping with meringue.
- For the meringue, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Spread meringue over the cooled cheesecake, sealing to the edge of the crust. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown.
- Cool completely before removing from pan and serving.
