👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Graham Cracker Crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles moist sand.
Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of crust mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner or dessert cup. Press firmly using the back of a spoon or a small glass to create an even base.
Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
💡 Tip: Pressing the crust firmly helps it stay together when serving.
2️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Slowly pour in the melted white chocolate, mixing gently until smooth and glossy. Fold in the whipped cream until the filling becomes light, fluffy, and mousse-like.
💡 Tip: Make sure the white chocolate is slightly cooled before adding it to prevent melting the cream cheese.
3️⃣ Assemble the Cheesecake Cups
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, filling each cup almost to the top. Add small dollops of raspberry preserves on top of each cup.
Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the raspberry into the cheesecake filling to create a marbled effect.
4️⃣ Chill Until Set
Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set. For the best texture and flavor, chilling overnight is ideal.
5️⃣ Garnish & Serve
Before serving, top with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or a light drizzle of melted white chocolate. Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, fruity bite.
