Raspberry Cheesecake Bites (Print Version)

Rich cheesecake rounds loaded with juicy raspberries and crunchy graham, covered in silky dark chocolate.

# Ingredients:

→ Truffle Base

01 - ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
02 - ¾ cup fresh raspberries, dried well after washing
03 - ¾ cup Cool Whip
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla
05 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temp
06 - ½ cup powdered sugar

→ Coating

07 - 15 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, chop into big pieces

# Steps:

01 - Grab a bowl and whip the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it's looking fluffy. Toss in the raspberries next so it all comes together.
02 - Gently fold the Cool Whip in with a spatula, then sprinkle in the graham cracker crumbs and mix until they're spread around.
03 - Pop this filling into the freezer. Leave it alone for about 2 hours so it gets stiff enough to work with.
04 - Scoop out portions with your spoon or scooper onto a tray lined with parchment. Roll them into balls using your hands for best results.
05 - Slide the tray back in the freezer. Give it another couple hours to get those truffles totally solid.
06 - Melt down all that chocolate and wait a few minutes until it's cooled a bit. Dunk cold truffles into the chocolate using a fork, making sure every inch is coated.
07 - Take any leftover chocolate, fill a zip bag or piping bag, snip the end, and squiggle some drizzles across the tops.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Truffles get soft fast, so work quick when coating them
02 - Keep these in the fridge or freezer until you want to eat them
