Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed or finely chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
- Additional crushed graham crackers for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of crushed graham crackers and 1/2 cup of pureed or finely chopped fresh strawberries until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheesecake mixture for about 1 hour.
- Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the cheesecake mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (if using).
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the truffles are coated, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
