# Steps:
01 -
Grind graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, then pulse until the mixture is coarse and sandy. Alternatively, crush the crackers in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin, transfer the crumbs to a bowl, and mix in melted butter and sugars.

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, lemon zest, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and heavy cream. Starting on the lowest speed to prevent splatter, blend thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the mixture becomes thick and stiff.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Feel free to substitute raspberries and raspberry jam with other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or peaches. Match the fruits with suitable jam for varied flavors.
02 -
Use a block of cream cheese for the best texture, avoiding cream cheese spreads.
03 -
For a sweeter taste, increase the sugar in the cheesecake mixture or add additional brown sugar in the crust.
