Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, mashed
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for coating)
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for melting white chocolate)
Optional toppings:
- Freeze-dried raspberry powder
- Sprinkles
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Gently fold in the mashed raspberries until well incorporated.
- Add the Graham Cracker Crumbs: Gradually add the graham cracker crumbs to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too soft, add a tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs at a time until it firms up enough to shape.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
- Shape the Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, add the coconut oil or shortening to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Dip the Balls in White Chocolate: Using a fork or skewer, dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Add Toppings: Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle your desired toppings (graham cracker crumbs, freeze-dried raspberry powder, sprinkles, or coconut) onto each ball for added texture and flavor.
- Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate coating is firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy these creamy, tangy, and sweet bites of bliss!
