Ingredients You’ll Need
Before you start, gather the following ingredients to ensure a smooth preparation process:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened: This is the base of your cheesecake filling, ensuring a creamy and rich texture.
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar: Adds the perfect amount of sweetness to balance the tartness of the raspberries.
- 12 ounces fresh raspberries: These not only add a beautiful color but also a fresh, tangy flavor that complements the creamy filling.
- 8 ounces whipped topping: For that light, airy texture that makes each bite melt in your mouth.
- 1 & 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs: Provides a delightful crunch and the classic cheesecake crust flavor.
Easy-to-Follow Directions
Creating these delicious bites is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar. Use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to whip them together until smooth. This ensures your cheesecake bites have a perfectly creamy texture without any lumps.
- Add the Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries. This step is what gives the cheesecake bites their signature fresh flavor and a lovely burst of color.
- Incorporate the Whipped Topping: Fold in the whipped topping carefully. This ingredient is key to making the bites light and fluffy.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 2 hours. This step is crucial for the filling to firm up, making it easier to shape the bites.
- Prepare the Crust: While the filling chills, process graham crackers into fine crumbs or use premade crumbs. Place them in a small bowl for rolling the bites.
- Shape and Coat: Use a cookie scoop to form small dollops of the cheesecake mixture. Roll each dollop in the graham cracker crumbs until fully coated, then place them on a parchment-lined sheet tray.
- Freeze to Finish: Freeze the cheesecake bites for a couple of hours. Before serving, let them sit out at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
