Notes
These bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat them briefly in the oven if desired before serving.
You can replace fresh raspberries with other berries like blueberries or strawberries if you prefer.
Experiment with adding a bit of lemon zest to the filling for added flavor depth.
