Instructions
Whisk together the cornstarch and sugar until no cornstarch lumps remain.
Add the water, raspberries, and lemon juice to the pan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
Set aside.
CRUST
Prepare the crust by stirring together melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, ensuring it covers the entire base of the dish uniformly.
CREAM CHEESE LAYER
In a large bowl, beat together powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until well incorporated.
Carefully spread this cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, being cautious not to break the crust.
Once the cream cheese layer is evenly spread, carefully add the cooled raspberry filling on top.
Spread it gently to cover the entire surface.
This layer should be added with care to maintain the integrity of the dessert layers below.
Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to allow the layers to set properly.
Once chilled, the dessert is ready to be served.
