Most Delicious White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls Recipe

Introduction

These White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls are a delightful no-bake treat combining creamy cheesecake filling with a smooth white chocolate coating. Perfectly bite-sized and bursting with fruity tang, they make an irresistible snack or party dessert.

Ingredients

• 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries, mashed
• 8 oz white chocolate, chopped or white chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
• Optional garnishes: crushed freeze-dried raspberries, white chocolate drizzle, sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides to combine evenly.
2. Step 2: Gently fold in the vanilla extract and mashed raspberries until fully incorporated, taking care not to overmix. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 30-45 minutes to firm up.
3. Step 3: Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls. Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar and roll the portions into smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
4. Step 4: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler. Stir in coconut oil if using to thin the chocolate.
5. Step 5: Dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or skewer, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray and garnish before the chocolate sets if desired.
6. Step 6: Refrigerate the coated cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes to allow the coating to harden. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
• Freeze the balls before dipping to prevent melting in the chocolate.
• Thin the white chocolate with coconut oil or shortening for a smoother coating.
• Work in small batches to keep the cheesecake balls firm while coating.
• Substitute milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile if preferred.

Store the cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving. These treats are best enjoyed cold.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries, mashed

For the White Chocolate Coating:

• 8 oz white chocolate, chopped or white chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)

For Garnishing (Optional):

• Crushed freeze-dried raspberries
• White chocolate drizzle
• Sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand or stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy. Scrape down the bowl sides to fully incorporate. Add vanilla extract and mashed raspberries, folding gently until combined but not runny. Cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to firm up the mixture for easier rolling.
2. Shape White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls: Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion out 1-inch diameter balls of the chilled cheesecake mixture. Lightly dust hands with powdered sugar and roll each portion into a smooth ball. If too soft, refrigerate an additional 10 minutes. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour until firm for easier dipping.
3. Melt the White Chocolate: Place chopped white chocolate or chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler. Stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to thin the coating for easier dipping if desired.
4. Coat the Cheesecake Balls: Use a fork or skewer to dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, rolling to coat completely. Tap off excess chocolate and place the coated balls on a parchment-lined tray. Garnish immediately with crushed freeze-dried raspberries, white chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, or edible glitter before the coating sets.
5. Let Them Set and Serve: Refrigerate the coated balls for at least 30 minutes until the white chocolate hardens. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months, thawing in the fridge before serving.

Notes

• Use full-fat cream cheese for richest, creamiest texture.
• Freeze the balls before dipping to prevent melting in warm chocolate.
• Thin the melted chocolate with coconut oil or shortening for a smoother coating.
• Work in small batches when coating to keep balls firm.
• Frozen raspberries can be used; thaw and drain excess liquid before mashing to avoid runny filling.
• Store leftovers refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen up to 2 months.
• Milk or dark chocolate can substitute white chocolate for a different flavor.
• Lightly dust hands with powdered sugar or chill hands before rolling to prevent sticking.
