Ingredients
- 12 large raspberries
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure all your ingredients, especially the cream cheese, are at room temperature. This ensures a smooth and creamy filling without any lumps.
- Dry Raspberries: After washing the raspberries, gently pat them dry with paper towels. Any moisture can affect the consistency of the filling, so thorough drying is essential.
- Piping Technique: Use a small piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off to fill the raspberries. This allows for precise filling without damaging the delicate fruit.
- Presentation Matters: For a beautiful finish, fill each raspberry to the brim, creating a lovely dome shape. You can also dust them with cocoa powder or powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the stuffed raspberries for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and enhances the overall flavor.
- Freshness is Key: These stuffed raspberries are best enjoyed within 24 hours. The sooner you serve them, the fresher and tastier they will be!
