Create a creamy, tangy, cold-set cheesecake featuring bright lemon and fresh raspberry swirl without turning on your oven. This simple recipe is perfect for summer entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
  3. Add the lemon flavor: Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly.
  5. Prepare the raspberry swirl: In a small bowl, gently mash the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  6. Dollop spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture over the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry mixture into the filling. Do not overmix.
  7. Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  8. Before serving, carefully release the springform pan sides. Garnish with extra fresh raspberries or lemon zest if desired.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
  • If using frozen raspberries, thaw them slightly before mashing them with sugar.
  • This cold set cheesecake filling sets best when chilled for a full 8 hours.
