1/2 cup heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press into a springform pan.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in raspberry puree, heavy cream, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 60-65 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center. Cool in the oven with the door ajar for an hour.
For the glaze, heat raspberry puree, sugar, cornstarch, and water until thickened. Let cool before pouring over the cheesecake.
