Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, cream cheese, sour
cream and lemon juice. - Press graham cracker mixture firmly into bottom of jar. Layer cream cheese mixture and raspberries on top.
- Spoon jam into a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for 30 seconds or until runny. Stir jam, then pour over berries. Let cool completely, then seal jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until chilled, or for up to 2 days.
Variation: Chocolate Raspberry Tart: Drizzle 1 tbsp (15 mL) melted chocolate over the berries in place of the jam.
Tip: Any berries will look beautiful on top of this dessert — try blueberries, blackberries or sliced strawberries, and match the jam flavor to the berries. Concentric circles of pomegranate seeds also make a fun topping
