Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed pink velvet cake or pink wafer cookies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup raspberry puree or raspberry jam
  • Red or pink food coloring (optional)
  • Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
  • White chocolate shavings or whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a springform pan with parchment on the bottom and sides.
  2. Mix crushed pink velvet cake or cookies with melted butter and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes and cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
  5. Stir in sour cream, vanilla, raspberry puree or jam, and food coloring if using, until fully blended.
  6. Pour filling over crust, tap pan to release air bubbles, and place in a water bath.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until center is just set and slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off oven, crack door, and cool cheesecake gradually for 1 hour.
  9. Chill in fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  10. Top with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, or white chocolate before serving.

Notes

  • Swirl raspberry jam on top before baking for a marbled effect.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Substitute vanilla wafers or graham crackers in the crust for variation.
  • Use store-bought pink velvet cupcakes if short on time.
  • Freeze individual slices wrapped tightly; thaw overnight in fridge.
