Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 g (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 200 g (1 ½ cups) fresh raspberries
- 150 g (1 ½ cups) graham crackers or digestive biscuits, finely crushed
- 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Base Ingredients:
- 60 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Craft a delectable foundation by pulverizing graham crackers and blending with melted butter until the texture mimics damp beach sand.
- Carefully press the crumbly mixture into mini muffin liners, creating a densely packed base that will support the luscious filling. Refrigerate the crust while preparing subsequent components.
- Whip cream cheese with granulated sweetener and aromatic vanilla extract until achieving a silky, luxurious consistency without any lumps.
- Incorporate airy whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, folding gently to maintain its delicate volume and prevent deflation.
- Transfer the velvety filling into the chilled crusts, using a spatula to create smooth, even surfaces. Nestle the bites into the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours to solidify.
- Develop a vibrant raspberry reduction by simmering fresh berries with sugar, allowing them to dissolve and release their intense crimson juices.
- Introduce cornstarch slurry to the raspberry compote, stirring continuously until the sauce transforms into a glossy, thickened consistency. Allow the topping to cool completely.
- Crown each cheesecake bite with a generous dollop of the cooled raspberry sauce, optionally garnishing with a pristine whole raspberry or a whisper of powdered sugar.
- Elegantly extract the miniature desserts from their molds and serve thoroughly chilled for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure graham cracker crust is firmly packed to prevent crumbling when serving these delicate bites.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother, lump-free filling that blends effortlessly.
- Chill cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours for optimal texture and easier removal from molds.
- Create dairy-free version by substituting cream cheese with coconut cream and using vegan graham crackers for a plant-based alternative.
