# Instrucțiuni:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Mix the crushed graham crackers (or biscuits) with melted butter and sugar until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
02 - Reduce the oven temperature to 163°C. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, then mix in the raspberry puree, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and heavy cream. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently to avoid incorporating too much air. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring for a vibrant look.
03 - Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top. Wrap the outside of the springform pan with foil and place it in a larger pan filled with hot water (water bath). Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
04 - In a small saucepan, heat raspberry puree, sugar, and cornstarch with water over medium heat. Stir until thickened, then let cool slightly before pouring over the cheesecake.
05 - Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
