- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, mashed
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
For the Coating:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add mashed raspberries and mix until well combined.
- Stir in graham cracker crumbs and melted white chocolate chips, mixing until a dough-like consistency forms.
2️⃣ Form the Cheesecake Balls:
- Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
- Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
3️⃣ Coat in White Chocolate:
- Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, coating evenly.
- Place back on the parchment-lined tray.
4️⃣ Add the Raspberry Crunch:
- While the coating is still wet, sprinkle the tops with crushed freeze-dried raspberries for a tart, flavorful contrast.
5️⃣ Chill & Serve:
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Enjoy chilled!
Notes
- If the mixture is too soft, chill it for 10-15 minutes before rolling into balls.
- You can use dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor twist.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
