Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup fresh raspberries (reserve some for topping)

For the Topping:

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until everything is well mixed and resembles wet sand.

        - Firmly press this crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased mini muffin tin or silicone molds to form an even crust layer.

          Create the Cheesecake Filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it reaches a creamy consistency.

              - Gradually add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

                - Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the filling.

                  Assemble and Bake:

                    - Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 full.

                      - Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes. The centers should be set with a slight jiggle when gently shaken.

                        - Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bites cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                          Prepare the Topping:

                            - In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and powdered sugar until the mixture is silky smooth. This will serve as the delicious creamy topping for your bites.

                              Finish the Cheesecake Bites:

                                - Once the cheesecake bites have completely cooled, add a generous dollop of the sour cream mixture on top of each.

                                  - Garnish each bite with additional fresh raspberries and, if you'd like, a sprig of mint for a touch of color and elegance.

                                    Chill and Serve:

                                      - Place the completed cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing them to chill and set properly.

                                        - Serve these delightful treats chilled, indulging in the refreshing burst of raspberry flavor with every bite!
