Great cheesecake... amazing sauce! You could easily use strawberries or blueberries in the recipe, depending on what you have on hand. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Raspberry Grand Marnier Cheesecake

Step-by-Step

CRUST: Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla; beat. Add flour and salt; mix until dough forms. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic refrigerate for 30 minutes. Press dough into the bottom of 9 3/4 to 10 inch spring form pan that has been lightly greased. Wrap bottom of springform pan in a double sheet of foil. Bake crust at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until slightly golden. Remove and cool completely.
FILLING: Beat all the cream cheese until light and fluffy, scraping down when necessary. Add sugar and flour gradually.
Add sour cream and vanilla beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating until just combined.
Pour into prepared pan. Place into a water bath. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, lower temperature to 325 for at least 30 minutes or until firm in the middle, may take an additional 45 minutes. Turn oven off when done and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour longer. Remove and cool completely. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 6 hours or overnight.
SAUCE: Put the jam and Grand Mariner in a bowl and mix together until it isn't lumpy; add raspberries and mix.
Refrigerate sauce until ready to serve. Cut cake and spoon sauce over each slice as desired.
