Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Bites

Cream cheese: The base for a smooth, rich cheesecake filling.
Powdered sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create a smooth texture.
Vanilla extract: For a hint of warm flavor.
Graham cracker crumbs: For a traditional cheesecake crust flavor, blended into the creamy filling.
Strawberries: Fresh, chopped strawberries add a fruity burst to each bite.
Heavy cream: Adds richness to the cheesecake filling and helps create a smooth texture.

For the White Chocolate Coating

White chocolate chips: For melting and dipping, creating a smooth, sweet coating.
Coconut oil: Used to thin out the white chocolate for easier dipping and a smoother finish.

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and airy texture.

Step 2 – Add the Strawberries

Fold the chopped strawberries into the cheesecake mixture. The strawberries will add flavor and a bit of texture to the creamy filling.

Step 3 – Form the Cheesecake Bites

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out small balls of the cheesecake mixture. Roll each ball between your hands to form a smooth round shape.
Place the cheesecake bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 4 – Prepare the White Chocolate Coating

Melt the white chocolate chips with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before dipping.

Step 5 – Dip the Cheesecake Bites

Once the cheesecake bites are firm, dip each bite into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated. You can also use a fork or toothpick to make dipping easier.
Place the coated cheesecake bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6 – Chill and Set

Refrigerate the dipped cheesecake bites for another hour or until the white chocolate coating is set and firm.

Step 7 – Serve and Enjoy

Serve the White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Bites chilled. Enjoy these creamy, decadent little bites that are perfect for any occasion!

Tips for Success

Strawberry Flavor: If you want to enhance the strawberry flavor, you can add a small amount of strawberry jam or puree to the cheesecake filling.
Chocolate Coating: If the white chocolate is too thick for dipping, you can thin it out with a little more coconut oil or vegetable oil.
Make Ahead: These bites can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
