Description
These White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls are a delightful no-bake treat that combines creamy cheesecake with sweet white chocolate and tangy raspberry flavors. They are perfect for parties, gifting, or as a special indulgence for yourself.
Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Balls:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- â…“ cup raspberry jam or seedless raspberry preserves
- pinch of salt (optional)
Coating:
- 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- freeze-dried raspberries (crushed, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using), and mix until fully combined.
- Stir in the raspberry jam and graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is thick and well blended. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting the excess drip off.
- Place them back onto the parchment-lined tray and immediately sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries before the chocolate sets. Chill until the coating is firm.
Notes
- For a stronger raspberry flavor, swirl in additional jam after shaping the balls.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- These also freeze well for longer storage.
- Use good-quality white chocolate for best results.
