Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough

→ Filling

02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tbsp sugar
04 - ½ tsp vanilla extract
05 - ⅓ cup raspberry preserves
06 - Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
02 - Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle in half to form smaller pieces that fit into the mini muffin cups.
03 - Press each dough piece gently into the mini muffin cups, shaping them into small cups.
04 - In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
05 - Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each prepared dough cup. Add a small dollop (about ½ teaspoon) of raspberry preserves on top of the cream cheese.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
07 - Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
