Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed (about 4–5 strawberries)
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
For the Coating:
- 8 ounces white chocolate or chocolate coating
- Optional: additional graham cracker crumbs for garnish
- Optional: chopped strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Fold in the strawberry puree until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored. Gently mix in the graham cracker crumbs until fully incorporated.
- Form the Truffles: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheesecake mixture for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill Again: Place the formed truffles back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat the Truffles: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate according to package instructions, stirring until smooth. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs or chopped strawberries on top of the truffles before the chocolate sets.
- Set and Serve: Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffles!
Notes
- Try adding a splash of lemon juice or zest for a fresh citrus twist in the cheesecake filling.
- Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Add mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts to the filling for extra texture and richness.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months, ensuring they are well wrapped.
- You can use frozen strawberries if thawed and pureed before use.
