Description

Irresistible strawberry cheesecake truffle balls merge creamy cheesecake with sweet strawberry essence in one perfect bite-sized treat. Rich flavors and smooth textures blend seamlessly, promising pure indulgence that delights you from first taste to last morsel.


Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup strawberries, fresh
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Binding and Flavor Enhancers:

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating and Decoration:

  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • Optional: Sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Pulverize the strawberry cake mix into fine crumbs, ensuring no large chunks remain and disregarding the liquid ingredients specified on the package.
  2. Integrate softened cream cheese into the cake mix crumbs, kneading thoroughly until a uniform, malleable dough emerges. Incorporate chopped cream cheese chips, folding gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Craft compact spheres approximately one inch in diameter, utilizing clean hands or a uniform cookie scoop. Arrange the orbs methodically on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  4. Transform vanilla melting wafers and pink candy melts into liquid form through careful microwave heating. Execute this process in brief 20-second intervals, stirring consistently to maintain smooth consistency and prevent scorching.
  5. Submerge each dough sphere completely into melted vanilla wafers using a fork as a supportive utensil. Allow excess coating to drip away by gentle tapping, then delicately position each coated truffle onto the prepared surface.
  6. Once vanilla coating slightly solidifies, embellish truffles with elegant pink candy melt drizzles. Create artistic swirls using a spoon, ensuring aesthetic appeal and flavor complexity.
  7. While coating remains glossy, optionally dust truffles with complementary sprinkles for textural intrigue and visual vibrancy.
  8. Refrigerate truffles for approximately 30 minutes at 40°F to guarantee complete coating solidification. Serve chilled or allow brief tempering to room temperature for optimal enjoyment.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese completely at room temperature to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing for perfect cake ball texture.
  • Chill mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling to make handling easier and prevent sticky hands during ball formation.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform size and consistent truffle appearance, which helps even coating and professional presentation.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute strawberry cake mix with gluten-free cake mix and ensure all coating ingredients are certified gluten-free.
