Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (170 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (120 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) frozen raspberries, thawed
Sweet and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Coating and Decoration:
- 1/4 cup (43 grams) white chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Thoroughly blend cream cheese with white chocolate chips, raspberries, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until ingredients form a uniform, creamy consistency.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, carefully shape the mixture into uniform round balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Arrange the formed cheesecake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Gently melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Elegantly drizzle the warm melted white chocolate over the cheesecake balls, creating a decorative pattern.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 60-90 minutes, allowing the balls to firm up and develop a delicate, creamy texture.
- Remove from refrigerator 5 minutes before serving to slightly soften, enhancing the rich, velvety mouthfeel of the dessert.
Notes
- Choose room temperature cream cheese for smoother, easier mixing and a more consistent texture.
- Gently fold raspberries to prevent crushing and maintain their beautiful color and shape throughout the mixture.
- Freeze the cheesecake balls for 15-20 minutes before drizzling chocolate to help them set quickly and prevent melting.
- Experiment with different coatings like crushed pistachios or toasted coconut flakes for added crunch and flavor variety.
