Raspberry Cheesecake Bites

INGREDIENTS

• 12 oz. raspberries, washed and dried
• 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 cups frozen whipped topping
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10-12 crackers)
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

PREPARATION

1. In a large bowl or mixer, cream together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, then mix in raspberries until broken down and incorporated, yet still a little chunky.
2. Fold in cool whip with a rubber spatula until just combined, then freeze for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until firm.
3. Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop 1-2-inch balls of cheesecake mixture and roll into a circle. Then, roll cheesecake balls in crushed graham cracker crumbs until completely coated.
4. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and continue with remaining cheesecake balls.
5. Place cheesecake balls in freezer until ready to eat, then let sit at room temperature before serving.
