Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (454 g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz (227 g) whipped topping
- 12 oz (340 g) fresh raspberries
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
Instructions
- Creaming: Whip cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until silky and homogeneous, creating a luxurious base for the cheesecake bites.
- Fruit Integration: Gently fold fresh raspberries into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining berry integrity while distributing them evenly throughout the blend.
- Texture Enhancement: Delicately incorporate whipped topping, ensuring a smooth and consistent mixture that promises a light, airy final product.
- Initial Setting: Transfer the mixture to a container, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 2 hours to allow the mixture to firm and develop its characteristic texture.
- Coating Preparation: Pulverize graham crackers in a food processor until transformed into fine, uniform crumbs, creating a perfect crispy exterior.
- Portioning: Utilize a cookie scoop to create uniform dollops of the chilled cheesecake mixture, ensuring consistent size and shape for each bite.
- Coating Process: Roll each cheesecake portion thoroughly in graham cracker crumbs, guaranteeing complete and even coverage for a delightful crunch.
- Final Freezing: Arrange coated bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for an additional 2 hours to solidify completely.
- Serving Preparation: Remove from freezer and let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes, allowing the bites to soften slightly and optimize their creamy texture before serving.
Notes
- Chill for Success: Freezing the mixture helps create a firm, scoopable texture that makes forming bites easy and prevents crumbling.
- Gentle Fruit Handling: Avoid overmixing raspberries to maintain their delicate texture and prevent turning the entire mixture pink.
- Graham Cracker Coating Tip: Use fine, uniform crumbs for a smooth, even exterior that adheres perfectly to the cheesecake mixture.
- Serving Strategy: Let bites sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to achieve the ideal creamy, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
