Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: In a small blender or food processor, puree 1 cup fresh raspberries with 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust, then spoon half of the raspberry puree over it. Use a knife to gently swirl the raspberry puree through the cheesecake layer. Repeat layering with remaining cream cheese and raspberry puree, swirling again.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1/3 cup sliced almonds evenly over the top. Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours until firm before slicing into squares to serve.
