Description
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls are no-bake, bite-sized desserts featuring creamy cheesecake centers, fresh raspberries, and a luscious white chocolate coating. Perfect for entertaining, gifting, or enjoying as an easy sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese (full-fat recommended)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 20 fresh raspberries
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
- 2 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fully combined. Fold in graham cracker crumbs to form a moldable consistency. - Form the Balls:
Scoop a small portion of the cheesecake mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a raspberry in the center and shape the mixture around it, forming a ball. Repeat for all raspberries. - Chill the Balls:
Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm. - Melt the White Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with coconut oil or shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. - Coat the Balls:
Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and place back on the parchment paper. - Garnish and Set:
Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried raspberries (optional) over the coated balls. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. - Serve:
Once set, transfer the balls to an airtight container or serving platter. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze in a single layer in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- Tip: Grease hands lightly with butter or oil when shaping the balls to prevent sticking.
