Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries crushed
1 pinch salt
2 1/2 cups white chocolate chips for coating
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberries for topping
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
3. Melt the white chocolate chips in short microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
4. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, then mix it into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
6. Refrigerate the filling for 1 to 2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
7. Scoop the mixture into small portions and roll into evenly sized balls.
8. Place the cheesecake balls onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes.
9. Melt the remaining white chocolate with coconut oil until smooth.
10. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate until fully coated.
11. Tap away excess chocolate and place the coated balls back onto the tray.
12. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried raspberries over the tops before the coating hardens.
13. Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use fully softened cream cheese to create a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling without lumps.
Freeze-dried raspberries work best because they provide concentrated flavor without adding excess moisture.
Keep the cheesecake balls cold during dipping to help the white chocolate coating set quickly and evenly.
