1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup fresh raspberries

Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust.
Drop spoonfuls of raspberry puree onto the batter and use a knife to swirl it in.
Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and repeat the swirl with raspberry puree.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
