My family's love of raspberries and cheesecake make this a perfect dessert for us. The luscious treat is best eaten with a fork. —Jill Cox, Lincoln, Nebraska

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter
1 jar (12 ounces) seedless raspberry jam, divided
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
TOPPING:
1-1/2 cups sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the flour, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Set aside 3 tablespoons jam; spread remaining jam over crust.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in lemon zest and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Spread evenly over jam. Bake until almost set, 20-25 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar and vanilla; spread over cheesecake. Warm remaining jam and swirl over top. Bake just until set, 5-7 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars.
