🍓 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
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the graham cracker crumbs, strawberry jam (or puree), and vanilla extract.
- 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
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
- Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 30–40 minutes, or until firm enough for dipping.
Step 3: Melt the White Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Be careful not to overheat — white chocolate burns easily.
Step 4: Dip and Decorate
- Remove the chilled cheesecake bites from the freezer.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, gently tapping off the excess.
- Place the dipped bites back onto parchment paper.
- 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.
