Description
These Strawberry Cheesecake Truffles are a no-bake dessert combining the creamy tang of cheesecake with the sweetness of real strawberries and a smooth white chocolate coating. Perfect for gifting, parties, or an easy indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh or freeze-dried strawberries
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 10 oz (285 g) white chocolate chips or candy coating, melted
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the strawberries until finely crushed. If using fresh strawberries, pat them dry before processing to avoid excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed strawberries, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Scoop small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the truffles for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating evenly, and place them back on the baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Add 1 tsp lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
- Roll truffles in crushed graham crackers, coconut flakes, or powdered sugar for added texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Let frozen truffles thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
