Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 12 ounces fresh raspberries
- 8 ounces whipped topping
Coating
- 1 & 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl along with the granulated sugar. Using an electric hand mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries to the cream cheese mixture ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold the whipped topping into the cheesecake mixture to maintain its light and airy texture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 2 hours to firm up the filling.
- Prepare Graham Cracker Crumbs: Process graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs are formed, or use premade graham cracker crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a small bowl for coating.
- Scoop and Coat Cheesecake Bites: Line a sheet tray with parchment or wax paper. Using a cookie scoop (1 to 1.5 tablespoon size), scoop dollops of the chilled cheesecake mixture. Roll each dollop in the graham cracker crumbs until fully coated. If the mixture becomes too soft to handle, return it to the freezer until firm.
- Freeze to Set: Place the coated cheesecake bites on the lined tray and freeze for a couple of hours until fully frozen.
- Serve: Before serving, let the cheesecake bites sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for perfect biteability.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for creaminess.
- If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen raspberries can be used but thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- These cheesecake bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
- If the mixture becomes too soft while working, place it back in the freezer to firm up before coating.
- Feel free to substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafer crumbs if preferred.
