White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (melted for coating)
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for texture)
- Extra raspberries or powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries. Be careful not to overmix; some chunks are okay.
- Chill the mixture for 1-2 hours or until firm enough to roll.
- Form the Balls:
- Scoop out portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze for 30 minutes to make them easier to handle.
- Coat in White Chocolate:
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler.
- Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coating. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Optionally, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs while the chocolate is still wet.
- Let the coating set completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Serve garnished with extra raspberries or a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also pipe red frosting for a touch of elegance.
Enjoy your sweet, creamy treats!
