How To Make Raspberry Cupcakes (No Baking)
- Line a mini cupcake tin with paper liners and set aside.
- To make the cookie base, in a medium bowl or plastic bag, combine the crushed cookies, chopped almonds and white chocolate chips.
- Pour in the milk and mix until mixture is combined and forms clumps.
- Divide cookie mixture into 6 cupcake molds, pressing down to form the cookie base.
- Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
- To make the cream cheese filling, add cream cheese and melted white chocolate chips to a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until mixture is creamy and smooth. Slowly add in heavy cream and continue to beat until smoothly combined.
- Take the cupcake molds from the fridge and spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cookie base. Cover with plastic wraps. Place in the fridge for another 60 minutes to set.
- To make the raspberry jelly topping, add raspberries, sugar and lemon juice to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until mixture has reduced significantly and forms into a thick syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in dissolved gelatin.
- Take the cupcakes out from the fridge. Place the fresh raspberries and blueberries on top of the cream cheese filling.
- Pour raspberry jelly over cream cheese filling. Return them to the fridge for final 3 hours or until set.
