Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted for smoothness
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced and patted dry
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure extract preferred
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips, for coating
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed for topping

Method
 

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar gradually, mixing until fully incorporated.
  2. Fold in the vanilla extract and diced strawberries gently. Mix just until evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Add the graham cracker crumbs to the mixture. Stir until everything combines into a thick, moldable dough.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to create smooth balls. Place each formed strawberry cheesecake ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate the strawberry cheesecake balls for at least 2 hours.
  6. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
  7. Dip each chilled strawberry cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  8. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the wet chocolate coating. Refrigerate again for 30 minutes to set the coating completely.

Notes

Always use room temperature cream cheese. Thoroughly dry your fresh strawberries to prevent sogginess. Chill your hands while rolling the balls to prevent sticking. Use high-quality white chocolate for coating.
