Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites 🧀🍓
Deliciously creamy and tangy bites with a crunchy graham cracker coating, perfect for a refreshing dessert or snack.
Ingredients:
1 cup raspberries, fresh
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
2️⃣ Form the Bites:
Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out portions of the cream cheese mixture and form into small balls.
Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3️⃣ Chill:
Place the baking sheet with the cream cheese balls in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until they are firm.
4️⃣ Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated.
5️⃣ Coat the Bites:
Remove the firmed cream cheese balls from the freezer.
Roll each ball in the graham cracker crumb mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated bites back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6️⃣ Chill Again:
Return the coated cream cheese bites to the freezer for another 30 minutes to firm up again.
7️⃣ Serve:
Allow the raspberry cream cheese bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
