16 oz cream cheese, softened: This is the main ingredient that gives the cheesecake its creamy texture. Cream cheese is rich in flavor, lending the dessert a lush mouthfeel that balances the tartness of the raspberries.
1/3 cup granulated sugar: This sweetener adds the necessary sweetness to the cream cheese mixture, enhancing the overall flavor of the cheesecake bites.
12 oz fresh raspberries: Raspberries bring a bright, fruity flavor and natural sweetness to the dish. They also add a splash of color, making the cheesecake bites visually appealing.
8 oz whipped topping: The whipped topping adds lightness and volume to the cheesecake filling. It creates a fluffy texture that melts beautifully in your mouth.

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine 16 oz cream cheese and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 12 oz fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them too much to retain some texture. Finally, fold in 8 oz whipped topping to create a light and airy mixture. Once everything is combined, place the bowl in the freezer for 2 hours to allow it to firm up slightly.
Prepare the Crust: While the mixture is freezing, process 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs in a food processor until fine. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper to prevent the cheesecake bites from sticking.
Form the Cheesecake Bites: After the mixture is partially frozen, scoop out 1 to 1.5 tbsp portions of the cheesecake mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Coat each ball generously with the prepared graham cracker crumbs, ensuring they are evenly covered. Place the coated bites onto the parchment-lined tray, and continue until all the mixture is used.
Final Freeze: Once all the bites are rolled and coated, place the tray in the freezer for an additional 2 hours to allow them to set completely. Once you’re ready to enjoy, let the bites sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving, which will make them easier to eat.
