Time 10h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs
½ cup lemon juice
1 (12 ounce) package frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup cold milk
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
1 cup whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • While crust is cooling, beat cream cheese using an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Beat in sweetened condensed milk. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice until well combined. Pour filling into the cooled crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake springs back when lightly touched, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
  • While cheesecake is cooling, stir raspberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour cooled raspberry filling over cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Pour milk into a medium bowl for topping. Whisk in lemon pudding mix until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping. Spread on top of raspberry layer. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight. Remove sides of springform pan when ready to serve.
