Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s baked raspberry and lemon cheesecake is a luxurious dessert featuring a velvety cream cheese filling flavored with lemon zest and juice, dotted with fresh or frozen raspberries, all set over a buttery biscuit crust. It’s baked until just set, then chilled to develop a rich yet refreshing flavor.

Ingredients

For the base:

  • 200g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed

  • 100g unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

For the filling:

  • 500g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature

  • 200g sour cream

  • 150g caster sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • Zest of 1 large lemon

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 150g fresh or frozen raspberries (do not thaw if frozen)

Optional topping:

  • Extra raspberries for garnish

  • Lemon zest curls

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set to 160°C (320°F). Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment.

  • Make the crust: Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter (and sugar if using). Press into the bottom of the pan. Chill for 10–15 minutes.

  • Mix the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Stir in sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and flour.

  • Fold in raspberries: Gently fold the raspberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.

  • Assemble and bake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Tap the pan to release air bubbles. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until edges are set and the center has a slight wobble.

  • Cool gradually: Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar. Let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

  • Serve and garnish: Release from the pan. Top with fresh raspberries, lemon zest, and a dusting of icing sugar before slicing.
