- 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs – Adds structure and a classic cheesecake flavor.
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar – Sweetens the filling while keeping it silky smooth.
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (pureed) – Brings natural sweetness, color, and fresh strawberry flavor.
- 2 cups White Chocolate Chips – Used for coating the truffles with a smooth, luxurious shell.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract – Enhances and balances the overall flavor.
- Pink Food Coloring (optional) – Adds a vibrant, bakery-style look.
- Sprinkles – For decoration and a festive finishing touch.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth. Add pink food coloring if desired.
- Scoop the mixture and roll it into small, evenly sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the cheesecake balls for 30 minutes to firm them up for dipping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place back onto the parchment-lined tray.
- Immediately decorate with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is fully set.
