Raspberry Cheesecake Bites
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup raspberry jam, and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the raspberry mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once the raspberry sauce has cooled, pour it over the chilled cheesecake layer and spread it evenly. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 1-2 hours.
- Once fully set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve. Enjoy!
