Creamy Polish Raspberry Cheesecake Bites (Gluten-Free)
Discover the perfect Polish dessert recipe with our scrumptious Creamy Raspberry Cheesecake Bites. This delectable, gluten-free treat is made with a graham cracker crust, rich cream cheese filling, and a light raspberry mousse topping.
Ingredients
1 cup gluten free graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, 8 oz cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of 8 muffin cups. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth. Fold in half of the raspberries. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crusts, filling each cup to the top. Bake for 20 25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow to cool completely before removing from the muffin tin. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and remaining raspberries into a light mousse. Pipe or spoon the raspberry mousse onto each bite sized cheesecake, garnishing with additional raspberries if desired.
Substitutions For a non-gluten-free version, use regular graham cracker crumbs. Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
