Ingredients 🛒
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for smooth melting)
Instructions 👩🍳
1️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Base
In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, raspberry preserves, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2️⃣ Add the Crunch
Fold in the crushed graham crackers until the mixture is thick enough to roll into balls.
3️⃣ Shape and Chill
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
4️⃣ Coat with White Chocolate
Melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second bursts and stirring until smooth. Dip each ball in the white chocolate and return to parchment.
5️⃣ Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until chocolate is fully set. Serve cold for best texture!
Tips for Success
- Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese: It gives the best creamy texture and richness.
- Crush Crackers Finely: A food processor makes a consistent texture that blends easily.
- Preserve Texture: Don’t skip the freezing step—it keeps the balls from falling apart when dipped.
- Customize It: Use strawberry or cherry preserves instead of raspberry, or try dark chocolate for dipping.
Storage Notes
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze them up to 1 month—just thaw slightly before serving for best texture.
