🍓 Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup strawberry jam or pureed fresh strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Coating:

  • 10 oz (280g) white chocolate melting wafers or white candy coating
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother dipping)

Optional Decorations:

  • Crushed freeze-dried strawberries
  • Pink sprinkles
  • Drizzle of melted dark or milk chocolate

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Mixture

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix in the graham cracker crumbs, strawberry jam (or puree), and vanilla extract.
  3. Beat until fully combined and thick enough to roll into balls. If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.

Step 2: Shape the Cheesecake Bites

  1. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
  2. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Freeze for 30–40 minutes, or until firm enough for dipping.

Step 3: Melt the White Chocolate

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  2. Be careful not to overheat — white chocolate burns easily.

Step 4: Dip and Decorate

  1. Remove the chilled cheesecake bites from the freezer.
  2. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, gently tapping off the excess.
  3. Place the dipped bites back onto parchment paper.
  4. While the coating is still wet, decorate with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, pink sprinkles, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the coated bites for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate set completely. Once firm, transfer them to a serving tray or airtight container.


🍰 Storage

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

💡 Tips for Success

  • Smooth texture: Make sure your cream cheese is completely softened to avoid lumps.
  • No jam? Use strawberry preserves, fresh strawberry puree, or even a little strawberry extract for flavor.
  • Easy dipping: Keep bites cold — they’re easier to coat when firm.
  • Decorating tip: Work in small batches when dipping so the chocolate doesn’t harden before you finish.
  • Alternative coating: Use milk or dark chocolate for a decadent twist.

🍓 Variations

  • Chocolate-Covered Cheesecake Bites: Swap the white chocolate for semisweet or dark chocolate.
  • Mixed Berry Version: Use raspberry or blueberry jam instead of strawberry.
  • Oreo Cheesecake Bites: Add crushed Oreos to the cheesecake mixture before rolling.
  • Valentine’s Edition: Dip in pink-tinted white chocolate and decorate with red heart sprinkles.
