Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups white chocolate, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry crumbs for topping
Instructions
1. Place the softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl and beat until completely smooth and fluffy.
2. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and salt, then continue mixing until fully combined.
3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed freeze-dried raspberries until a thick cheesecake mixture forms.
4. Refrigerate the filling for 20 to 30 minutes if it feels too soft to roll.
5. Scoop the filling into evenly sized portions and roll into smooth balls using your hands.
6. Arrange the cheesecake balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using short intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
8. Add the heavy cream if needed to thin the melted chocolate slightly for easier dipping.
9. Remove a few cheesecake balls from the freezer at a time and dip each one into the melted white chocolate until fully coated.
10. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated cheesecake balls back onto the tray.
11. Sprinkle freeze-dried raspberry crumbs over the tops before the chocolate coating sets.
12. Refrigerate the finished cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
13. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
Freeze the cheesecake balls before dipping to help them hold their shape and create a smooth coating.
Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and melting consistency.
Keep the cheesecake balls refrigerated until serving so the chocolate shell stays firm and crisp.
