Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- ¼ cup (40 g) fresh raspberries, mashed or raspberry preserves
- ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
- Freeze-dried raspberry powder or crushed freeze-dried raspberries
- White chocolate drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until velvety smooth, creating a luxurious base that serves as the foundation for the delectable bites.
- Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold mashed raspberries into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring an even and vibrant distribution that will provide bursts of fruity flavor throughout.
- Chill and Shape: Refrigerate the raspberry-infused filling for 30 minutes to firm up, then carefully scoop and roll tablespoon-sized portions into perfect spheres, placing them on a parchment-lined tray before freezing for one hour to achieve a structured consistency.
- Create Chocolate Coating: Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave, stirring between short intervals until the mixture becomes a glossy, smooth coating perfect for enrobing the cheesecake spheres.
- Dip and Decorate: Remove frozen cheesecake balls and submerge each into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to ensure complete coverage while tapping off excess. Immediately garnish with freeze-dried raspberry powder or additional white chocolate drizzle while the coating remains glossy.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate the finished raspberry cheesecake bites for a minimum of 30 minutes to solidify the coating and optimize both flavor and texture, resulting in an elegant and irresistible dessert experience.
Notes
- Chill for Success: Refrigerating the cream cheese mixture helps stabilize the texture, making it easier to shape and preventing crumbling during coating.
- Chocolate Coating Tip: Melt white chocolate gradually and stir frequently to avoid burning, ensuring a smooth, glossy finish that perfectly enrobes each cheesecake bite.
- Freeze for Perfection: Freezing the cheesecake balls before dipping creates a firm exterior that prevents breaking and allows for cleaner chocolate coverage.
- Garnish with Flair: Sprinkle freeze-dried raspberry powder or drizzle extra white chocolate immediately after coating to ensure the decorative elements adhere beautifully.
