How to Make Cheesy Lime Pudding Bites

- In a small saucepan, gently heat the bloomed gelatin over low heat until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Slowly add the dissolved gelatin to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until fully integrated.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
- Transfer the mixture into small silicone molds or a lined mini muffin tin, smoothing the tops with a spatula.

- Once set, carefully remove the pudding bites from the molds. Serve topped with fresh raspberries and garnished with mint leaves and lime wedges.
Tips for the Best Results
Make sure to soften the cream cheese fully for a smooth texture. If you prefer a sweeter bite, adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your taste. Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any lumps in the pudding.
Easy Variations
