- Press into the base of a lined cake tin (~24cm) and bake for 8 minutes, allow to cool.
- Increase oven to 200oC.
- Place cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl and beat until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add eggs while beating and then add raspberries and lemon juice and zest.
- Add sour cream and vanilla, beat until completely combined (as this is a cheesecake, you don't have to worry aboubt over mixing).
