Ingredients
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
-
1 cup fresh raspberries
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/4 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Coating:
-
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to mash them completely—this gives a fresh burst of flavor and texture.
2. Form the Bites
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the cream cheese mixture and form them into bite-sized balls.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Chill the Filling
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for about 1 hour, or until the balls become firm.
4. Prepare the Coating
In a shallow bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles moist sand and is fully combined.
5. Coat the Bites
Take the firmed cream cheese balls out of the freezer.
Roll each ball in the graham cracker crumb mixture until completely coated.
Return the coated bites to the baking sheet.
6. Final Chill
Place the coated bites back in the freezer for another 30 minutes to let them firm up again.
7. Serve & Enjoy
Let the Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Serve them chilled for a cool, creamy experience.
