Ingredients
– 8 oz. full-fat brick-style cream cheese, softened to room temperature
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 3/4 cup stabilized frozen whipped cream, thawed (or a similar whipped topping)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup fresh raspberries, washed and thoroughly dried, using firm berries that are not overly ripe
– 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
– 15 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped (or dark chocolate coating)
Instructions
1-First, gather and measure all your ingredients to ensure everything is ready.
2-Begin by beating the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy for a smooth base.
3-Gently mix in the fresh raspberries to keep some whole for that burst of flavor in every bite.
4-Next, fold in the thawed whipped cream using a spatula to maintain the creamy texture.
5-Add the graham cracker crumbs and combine well to thicken the mixture.
6-Once mixed, freeze the entire batch for about 2 hours to make it easier to handle.
7-After the initial freeze, line a tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
8-Scoop one-inch sized dollops from the mixture onto the parchment and shape them into round balls by hand; if the mixture feels too soft, pop the dollops back in the freezer for a bit first.
9-Freeze the shaped balls until theyβre completely solid, which might take several hours, to prevent melting during the next step.
10-Then, melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes to avoid overheating the balls.
11-Working quickly in small batches, dip the frozen balls into the melted chocolate using a fork or spoon, making sure theyβre fully coated.
12-Place them back on the parchment paper, touch up any spots with extra chocolate, and drizzle leftovers for a decorative finish.
