Scale
- Cheesecake Mixture:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (50 g) graham cracker crumbs
- Raspberry Mixture:
- 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh or frozen raspberries, mashed
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- Coating:
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup (25 g) freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs and mix until fully combined. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up slightly. - Make the Raspberry Mixture:
In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with powdered sugar until smooth. If the mixture is too runny, strain to remove excess liquid. Chill briefly. - Assemble the Balls:
Take about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture and flatten it slightly. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the raspberry mixture in the center, then carefully wrap the cheesecake around it, forming a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Chill the balls for 30 minutes to set. - Coat in White Chocolate:
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Place on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries if desired. - Set and Serve:
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.
- If you don’t have freeze-dried raspberries, use a drizzle of raspberry sauce for decoration.
- These can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
