  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • RASPBERRY SAUCE:

  • 4. Meanwhile, for sauce, place raspberries in a blender; cover and process until well blended. Press through a sieve over a small saucepan. Discard seeds. Combine cornstarch and water; stir into raspberry juice. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Refrigerate until serving.
  • 5. Using foil, lift cheesecake out of pan; discard foil. Cut into four squares; cut each square diagonally into four triangles. Serve with sauce.
