Preparing the Cheesecake
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and sugar until blended. Gradually stir in water, then add fresh raspberries and lemon juice. Cook until it thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- Combine melted unsalted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar in a mixing bowl until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in thawed Cool Whip until no streaks remain.
- Spread the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust, then spoon the cooled raspberry filling over it to create a swirl effect.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Soften cream cheese for at least 2 hours to avoid lumps. Mix the filling just until combined to prevent air from incorporating, which can cause cracks.
