Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
  • ½ cup whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

Decoration

  • Red and green melting chocolate or candy melts
  • Holiday sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl using a mixer until it becomes creamy and smooth. Then, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until fully incorporated.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each until smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before adding it to the cream cheese mixture to avoid curdling.
  3. Add the Crumbs and Whipped Topping: Stir in the crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs into the cream cheese and white chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip) until the mixture is evenly combined and forms a soft batter.
  4. Chill and Shape: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 30 to 40 minutes to let it firm up. Once chilled, scoop and roll the mixture into about 1-inch balls. Place these balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for coating.
  5. Melt and Color the Coating: Separately melt the red and green candy melts according to the package instructions. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted candy melts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Decorate each ball with holiday sprinkles, then set them aside on parchment paper to allow the coating to harden before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before starting for a smooth mixture.
  • Allow the melted white chocolate to cool slightly before mixing to avoid texture issues.
  • If you prefer, substitute graham cracker crumbs with your favorite cookie crumbs for a different flavor base.
  • Keep the cheesecake balls refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain their shape.
  • Use a toothpick or fork to dip the cheesecake bites into the candy melts for easier handling.
