My First Cheesecake

Happy New Year!  I made this yummy dessert for New Year's Eve this year.  It didn't last long!  It was soooo tasty. I'm glad we had people over because I'd have eaten the whole thing myself!  I can't wait to make it during the summer with fresh raspberries from my garden! 

I don't know why I've always avoided making cheesecake.  I thought it was hard...but it was sooo easy!  The only thing you have to keep in mind is that you have to let it chill in the fridge for a few hours.

Marbled Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

2 (8 ounce) packages light cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup light cream or half-and-half

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

1 OREO pie crust

1 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed and drained.  If you put them on too soggy, they will make the cheesecake soggy.  That's why fresh summer ones would be so much better!

Chocolate syrup...I drizzled this over the top.  Makes it look fancy doesn't it?
