Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- 16 fresh raspberries (or enough for each bite)
- Extra powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until fully combined. Press the mixture into mini cupcake liners or silicone molds to form the base. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set. - Make the filling:
In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until creamy. Fold in the whipped cream gently to create a light texture. - Assemble the bites:
Spoon or pipe the filling onto the chilled crusts. Top each with a fresh raspberry. - Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. - Serve and enjoy:
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Customize with other berries like blueberries or blackberries.
- For a crunchier crust, bake the base for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
