How to make No Bake Raspberry Cheesecake

Ingredients:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar (for berry sauce)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
