- 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.
