Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (optional, mashed for swirls or mixed in whole)
- For the Coating:
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate, chopped or in chips
- Optional: freeze-dried raspberries or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in mashed raspberries if using, creating a swirl effect.
- Shape the Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place coated balls back on the parchment paper.
- Add Garnish (Optional): Before the coating sets, sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries, edible glitter, or sprinkles if desired.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the coated cheesecake balls for at least 1 hour until fully set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Freeze-dried raspberries add a nice crunch and burst of flavor.
