Instructions

Bake the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened.

  5. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Cool to room temperature.
  7. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees.

Prepare the filling

  1. Cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy for 5 minutes.
  2. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well.
  3. Scrape down the bowl and beater.

  5. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes.

  3. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature for another 3 hours, until completely cooled.
  4. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  5. Remove the cake from the spring form pan by carefully running a hot knife around the outside of the cake.
  6. Leave the cake on the bottom of the springform pan for serving.

For the raspberry topping

  1. Melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat.
  2. In a bowl, gently toss the raspberries, warm jelly, and Chambord until well mixed.
  3. Arrange the berry mixture on top of the cake.
