Raspberry Cheesecake Bites with Chocolate Crust
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare the Chocolate Crust: Mix the crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, mixing until well incorporated. Gently fold in the raspberries.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the pre-baked crusts, filling each cup nearly to the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set. Allow to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- For the Raspberry Coulis (Optional): Combine raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Drizzle raspberry coulis over chilled cheesecake bites and garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Raspberry Cheesecake Bites with Chocolate Crust ahead of time?
Yes, these are an excellent make-ahead dessert. You can assemble the Raspberry Cheesecake Bites with Chocolate Crust and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, add any fresh raspberry garnish just before serving.
What can I use if I don’t have a mini muffin pan?
You can use a standard muffin pan lined with paper liners. The Raspberry Cheesecake Bites will be larger, so you may need to adjust the baking time slightly. Alternatively, you can press the crust into a small square pan and slice it into bars after chilling.
How do I prevent the cheesecake filling from cracking?
Avoid over-mixing the batter and do not over-bake the bites. The centers should still look slightly soft when you remove them from the oven, as they will firm up while cooling. Allowing them to cool gradually in the turned-off oven with the door ajar can also help prevent cracks.
