Ingredients
For the Chocolate Crust:
2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup 1 stick butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Layer:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 block 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
For the Raspberry Topping:
1 can 21 oz raspberry pie filling
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350F 175C. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Pour the crumb mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it evenly to form a crust.
Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread this cheesecake layer evenly over the cooled crust.
Add the Raspberry Topping:
Carefully spread the raspberry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Chill and Serve:
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or ideally, overnight to let the flavors meld.
Slice and serve chilled.
