Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch mixture. Bring to a gentle boil and stir for about 3 minutes until thick.
  3. Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
  4. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  5. Pour cream cheese mixture over the crust. Add dollops of raspberry sauce and gently swirl it through the filling.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, keeping an eye out for golden edges and a slightly jiggle center. Leave the oven door ajar for 10 minutes after baking to cool gradually.
  7. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
