Description
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls are a sweet, indulgent treat that combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the bright, tangy flavor of raspberries, all coated in smooth white chocolate. These bite-sized morsels are perfect for parties, celebrations, or when you’re simply craving something special.
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
12 oz white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the raspberry jam and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the graham cracker crumbs, mixing until the mixture becomes thick and dough-like.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the cheesecake balls for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Once the balls are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate sets (about 30 minutes).
Notes
- You can substitute the raspberry jam with other berry jams like strawberry or blueberry for different flavor profiles.
- For a different chocolate coating, you can use milk or dark chocolate.
- Ensure the cheesecake balls are well-chilled before dipping in chocolate to prevent them from falling apart.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies.
