Tips & Variations

• For a stronger strawberry flavor, use fresh berries and ensure they are well-drained before folding in to avoid extra moisture.
• Substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if you prefer a richer coating.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the mixture for a bright, citrusy twist.

Storage

Store the truffle balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge before serving. Reheat is not recommended as the texture and coating may be affected.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the mixture, which can make it too soft to roll.

Freeze-dried strawberries are optional for garnish. You can skip them or replace with finely chopped fresh strawberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar for decoration.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Strawberries, diced (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs

Coating

• 8 oz White Chocolate, melted
• 1/2 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries, crushed (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the cheesecake mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until well combined. Fold in the diced strawberries and graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is thick and holds together well.
2. Form the truffle balls: Using clean hands, roll the cheesecake mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3. Chill the truffles: Place the tray of rolled truffles into the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes so they firm up and hold their shape.
4. Melt the white chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave to gently melt the white chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth and free of lumps. Set aside slightly to cool but keep it liquid for dipping.
5. Coat the truffles: Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator and carefully dip each into the melted white chocolate, letting any excess drip off. If desired, sprinkle the coated truffles immediately with crushed freeze-dried strawberries for added flavor and texture.
6. Set the coating: Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate again for 30 minutes, allowing the white chocolate to fully set and harden.
7. Serve: Once set, serve the strawberry cheesecake truffle balls chilled for a creamy, fruity, and decadent bite-sized dessert.

Notes

• For best results, use cream cheese at room temperature to ensure a smooth mixture.
• Fresh or frozen strawberries can be used; if using frozen, thaw and drain well to avoid extra moisture.
• Freeze-dried strawberries add a pleasant crunch and intensified strawberry flavor when used as a topping.
• Store truffle balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Allow white chocolate to cool slightly before dipping to prevent melting the truffle balls.
