Ingredients

  • Full-fat cream cheese: 8 oz (225 g)
  • Fresh raspberries: 12–18
  • Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Powdered sugar: 1 tbsp (optional, for garnish)
  • Egg: 1 large
  • Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
  • Pre-made pie crust: 1 sheet

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  • Prepare the Crust
    • Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a lightly floured surface.
    • Cut the crust into small circles using a cookie cutter (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
    • Press each circle into the mini muffin tin, forming small crusts.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Filling
    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  • Assemble the Bites
    • Spoon the cream cheese filling into each prepared crust, filling them about 3/4 full.
    • Place one fresh raspberry on top of the filling, pressing it slightly into the mixture.
  • Bake
    • Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
    • Remove the tin from the oven and let the bites cool for 5–10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Garnish and Serve
    • Once completely cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest flavor and creamiest texture.
  • Ensure your raspberries are fresh and ripe for the best results.
  • Don’t overfill the mini muffin tins to avoid spills during baking.
