Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs until well incorporated.
Mash the fresh raspberries and mix them into the cheesecake mixture. Be sure not to crush them too much—some texture is nice!
Use your hands to roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. You can add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to help the chocolate melt smoothly.
Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, coating it evenly. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the cheesecake balls are coated, refrigerate them again for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

These cheesecake balls can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
If you don’t have fresh raspberries, frozen raspberries work just as well, but be sure to thaw and drain them first.
You can substitute the graham cracker crumbs with crushed cookies like Oreos for a twist on the crust.
If you’d like to try a different flavor, you can add a little lemon zest or almond extract to the cheesecake mixture.
If you prefer a lighter coating, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the balls instead of fully dipping them.
