Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh raspberries (you can also use frozen raspberries that have been thawed)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup or silicone mold to create an even crust. Place the molds in the freezer to set for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, roughly 2 minutes. Then, add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to mix until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is completely smooth.

      Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the cheesecake mixture, taking care not to crush them too much—it's lovely to have some whole berries for added texture.

        Assemble the Bombs: Retrieve the crusts from the freezer. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crusts in each mold, filling them to the top. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly.

          Freeze: Cover the molds tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place them back in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake bombs are completely solid.

            Unmold and Drizzle: Once the bombs are frozen, carefully remove them from the molds. If necessary, briefly warm the exterior of the molds with your hands or run them under warm water to help release the bombs.

              Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you’d like to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over each cheesecake bomb.

                Serve: Enjoy these delightful treats immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. For the best texture, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before indulging.
