Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture
Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. This will give the cheesecake a smooth texture.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. You can use a hand mixer or a spatula for mixing.
Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Mix until well combined.
Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold the mashed raspberries into the cream cheese mixture. This will distribute the tart flavor throughout the cheesecake.
Combine with Dry Ingredients: Add the crushed graham crackers and vanilla wafer crumbs. Mix until just combined, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
