Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites (Print-Friendly Version)

Buttery pastry cups loaded with creamy cheese and tangy raspberries for a mouthwatering snack.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

→ Filling

02 - 4 oz cream cheese, brought to room temperature
03 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
04 - ½ tsp vanilla extract
05 - ⅓ cup raspberry jam
06 - Powdered sugar (if you want, for sprinkling)

# How to Make It:

01 - Get your oven hot at 375°F (190°C). Give your mini muffin pan a light coating of cooking spray or put paper liners in each cup.
02 - Open up the crescent dough and pull apart the triangles. Cut each one in half to make smaller pieces that will fit nicely in your mini muffin cups.
03 - Push each piece of dough carefully into the mini muffin cups to create little dough bowls.
04 - Grab a small bowl and stir together your cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it's nice and creamy.
05 - Drop about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mix into each dough cup. Then add a tiny bit (around ½ teaspoon) of raspberry jam on the cream cheese.
06 - Pop them in your hot oven for 10–12 minutes, or until you see golden brown edges and the filling doesn't jiggle. Let them cool a bit in the pan before moving to a wire rack.
07 - If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before you serve them.
