Creating your own Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Bites is easier than you might think! Follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.

2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until combined and crumbly.

3. Form the Crusts: Press about one tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each lined muffin cup to form crusts.

4. Mix the Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

5. Prepare the Raspberry Swirl: If using fresh raspberries, mash them gently in a separate bowl with powdered sugar and cornstarch. For a smoother blend, use raspberry purée.

6. Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crusts in each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Then, drop dollops of the raspberry mixture on top. Swirl them with a toothpick or knife for a marbled effect.

7. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The centers should be slightly set but still jiggle a little.

8. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the cheesecake bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Chill: Once cooled, place the bites in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.

10. Serve: When ready, remove the liners and serve these delightful bites chilled.

Following these easy steps will result in perfectly crafted Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Bites that are sure to impress!
