    Raspberry Cheesecake Bites

    I love making cheesecake. Mostly because I love EATING cheesecake. Recently my wife needed to bring a dessert to a pot luck at work. Instead of making one large cheesecake, I decided to make these cheesecake bites with raspberry topping.

    I've been making cheesecakes for many years so I found this recipe very easy to make. The process is really no different than your traditional cheesecake recipe.

    Raspberry Cheesecake Bites

    The beauty of this recipe is that you can use whatever topping you prefer or have on hand. I had some raspberry jam I needed to use so that's what we made here but you can easily substitute for strawberry, blueberry, apricot. Basically whatever floats your boat!

    Raspberry Cheesecake Bites

    If you've never made cheesecake before, it can be a little intimidating. What I have learned over the years to ensure a perfect consistency is to make sure you whip the cream cheese enough. You should take the cream cheese out of the fridge a couple of hours before using it. When whipping, I would suggest a good 5 to 7 minutes.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    While you can pretty much use any brand of cream cheese, I highly recommend you use Philadelphia brand cream cheese. You will taste the difference.

    After the baking process is done, expect the center of each to be a little "jiggly". This is normal. It will set up during the cool-down process in the fridge.

    📋 What Ingredients do I need

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Raspberry Cheesecake Bites recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Graham Cracker Crumbs, Unsalted Butter, White Sugar, Ground Cinnamon, Cream Cheese, Salt, Vanilla Extract, Eggs and Raspberry Jam.

    🥣 How do I make Raspberry Cheesecake Bites

    Preheat the oven to 325°F.
    Line a cupcake pan with liners. Set aside.
    In a small bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
    Pour 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner and press it into a packed layer. Bake for 5 minutes.
    In a mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until fluffy using an electric mixer.
    Add in sugar slowly and keep whipping until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time ensuring it's well mixed after each addition.
    Once well mixed, add the salt and vanilla extract and mix well.
    Put 3 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture into each cupcake liner. Tap the tray on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

      These cheese cake bites are to die for. They are incredibly easy to make and would go perfect for a get together. I made them in a regular size muffin tins, but for my next get together, I am going to make them in my mini muffin pan. The raspberry jam adds a great flavour. Will definitely make these again.
