Should be slightly jiggly even now – will set. If it was already set now, it will likely crack.

Remove from oven, knife edge, place on cooling rack to room temp.
Loosely cover with cling wrap, chill min 8 hours

Since I only have 3 bricks, and want to test this recipe out fairly, no substitutions tonight (butter and sour cream and heavy whipping cream is what I’d use).

Doing the full crust since it’s making 2 smaller cakes.

3 bricks cream cheese
180g sugar
2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
2 medium yolks (deal with it)
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream

The raspberry sauce is going to be reduced to a very thick jam, swirled in before baking

on second thought …

I did say peanut butter raspberry swirl on Monday, so here it is

Crust as above

1/2 c sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 tbsp hwc
