Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, forming an even crust. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly.
-
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
-
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture and stir until combined.
-
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the torte for at least 4 hours, or until set.
-
Once the torte has set, heat the raspberry preserves in a small saucepan until melted. Let it cool slightly, then spread it over the top of the torte.
-
Garnish the torte with fresh raspberries just before serving. Slice and enjoy the creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors of this delightful dessert.
