These Raspberry No-Bake Cheesecake Bites are the perfect little treats to satisfy your sweet tooth. Creamy, tangy, and bursting with fresh raspberry flavor, these bite-sized delights are coated in graham cracker crumbs for a texture that mimics a classic baked cheesecake crust. Best of all, they’re no-bake, freezer-friendly, and ready to enjoy whenever the craving strikes!

I love how these cheesecake bites are both simple and elegant. They’re a hit at parties, but I also love keeping them in the freezer for a quick treat after dinner. My family can’t get enough of them!

Ingredients and Why They Matter

• Cream cheese: The base of the cheesecake filling, providing a rich and creamy texture.
• Granulated sugar: Sweetens the filling and balances the tartness of the raspberries.
• Fresh raspberries: Add a bright, fruity flavor and a pop of color.
• Whipped topping (like Cool Whip): Lightens the filling and makes it airy.
• Graham cracker crumbs: Coat the bites, adding a crunchy texture reminiscent of a cheesecake crust.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the raspberries and stir until combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping.

Freeze the filling:

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.

Prepare the crumbs:

Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground, or use store-bought crumbs. Place the crumbs in a small bowl.

Form the bites:

Use a cookie scoop (1-1.5 tablespoons) to portion the cheesecake mixture. Roll each scoop into a ball, then coat it in graham cracker crumbs. Place the coated bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Freeze until firm:

Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are solid.

I love how versatile this recipe is. Sometimes I add a drizzle of melted chocolate or a sprinkle of lemon zest to the filling for an extra flavor boost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these be frozen?
Yes! Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. They’re best served straight from the freezer.
Do I have to use whipped topping?
No, you can make your own whipped cream. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Can I use other fruits?
Absolutely! Any berry or finely chopped fruit works well. Just make sure to adjust the sweetness if needed.
How many graham cracker crumbs do I need?
One sleeve of graham crackers (about 9 sheets) yields about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Bites

Use full-fat cream cheese: It provides the richest flavor and creamiest texture. Don’t overmix the filling: Fold the whipped topping gently to keep the mixture light and airy. Experiment with coatings: Try crushed cookies, cocoa powder, or even shredded coconut for a fun twist. Make them uniform: Use a cookie scoop to ensure all the bites are the same size.

Serving Suggestions

These bites are perfect on their own, but you can elevate them with: Fresh berries: Garnish with extra raspberries or a mix of berries for a pop of color. Chocolate drizzle: Melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the bites for a decadent touch. Caramel sauce: Add a drizzle of caramel for a sweet and salty contrast.

Storage Tips

Freezer: Store the bites in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Serving: Let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture.
