Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture is moistened and crumbly.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate to set while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) on medium speed until smooth.
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest, mixing until well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping by hand until fluffy and creamy, with no streaks remaining.
Carefully fold in the mashed raspberries until evenly distributed.
Assemble:
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate to set for at least 6 hours or overnight. Alternatively, for quicker setting, chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours, then freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
Serve:
Before serving, top with additional whipped cream or whipped topping, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh raspberries if desired.
Enjoy!
