Instructions:
1 Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 325F 163C. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to ensure easy removal of your cheesecake cups.
2 Create the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
3 Mix the Cheesecake Batter:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, cup of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest until well combined.
4 Assemble the Cheesecakes:
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling about 2/3 full.
Drop small dollops of cup raspberry preserves on top of each cheesecake and swirl gently with a toothpick to create a beautiful marbled effect.
5 Bake:
Bake the cheesecakes for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set.
Allow them to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
6 Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, garnish each cheesecake cup with fresh raspberries, lemon slices, and a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.
