CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE DELIGHT

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE DELIGHT

Serves 12-16

Ingredients
crust

• 2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

cheesecake filling

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar

raspberry topping

• 1 can (21 oz) raspberry pie filling

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
2. To make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl and combine together. Pour into the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
3. To make the filling: Pour heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Using an electric hand-mixer, or bowl of a stand mixer, beat cream until stiff peaks form and it's thick.
4. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour it onto your graham cracker crust and gently spread out evenly over the crust.
5. Top the cheesecake layer with the can of raspberry pie filling. Spread out evenly.
6. Cover with saran wrap and let refrigerate for 6 hours or for best results refrigerate overnight.

Notes

• I crushed a little extra graham crackers so that I could reserve some to sprinkle on top for garnish. I also whipped some additional heavy cream to pipe onto the top of each serving.
• To crush the graham crackers, place them into a Ziploc bag and use a meat pounder or something else heavy and crush into crumbs. You could also just put the graham crackers in a food processor. 2 cups crushed is equal to about 1 1/2 sleeves of chocolate graham crackers.
