Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I wash the fresh raspberries gently to make sure they’re clean but still intact. In a mixing bowl, I mash about half of the raspberries with a fork, mixing them with a tablespoon of sugar to enhance their sweetness and let the juices release. While that sits, I blend together the softened cream cheese and remaining sugar in another bowl, using my electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy. The smell is absolutely delightful, and it sets the tone for a delicious treat! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
