2. Prepare the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press firmly into the prepared pan to form an even crust.
3. Make the Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing well. Fold in sour cream until creamy.
4. Add the Raspberry Swirl: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam on top and swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
5. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are lightly golden. Cool completely in the pan.
6. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
7. Garnish and Serve: Lift the cheesecake out using the parchment overhang. Slice into bars, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.
