Ingredients

Cream Cheese: The base of our cheesecake filling, it adds a creamy texture and classic tangy flavor.

Fresh Raspberries: Provide bursts of tartness and beautiful color contrast in every bite. Frozen raspberries can be used if fresh aren’t available.

White Chocolate: Used for coating, it adds a smooth, sweet shell that complements the tangy center perfectly.

Powdered Sugar: Helps sweeten the cheesecake filling and ensures a smooth texture.

Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor and brings all the elements together with warm notes.

Graham Cracker Crumbs: Add a slight crunch and give the balls that familiar cheesecake crust taste.

How to Make Irresistible White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.

Step 2: Add Raspberries

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries. If they break apart slightly, that’s fine—it adds a beautiful swirl to the mixture.

Step 3: Chill the Mixture

Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake mixture for at least 1 hour, or until it firms up enough to shape.

Step 4: Roll into Balls

Scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Then roll each ball in graham cracker crumbs for added texture and that cheesecake crust flavor.

Step 5: Coat with White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate until smooth. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 6: Set and Serve

Refrigerate the coated balls until the chocolate shell sets. Serve chilled or store for later enjoyment.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

To switch things up, try using dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a deeper, richer flavor. You can also swap raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist. If you want more crunch, mix crushed nuts into the cheesecake base or sprinkle some over the top after coating. For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free white chocolate.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These cheesecake balls are perfect on their own, but they also make a wonderful addition to dessert platters. Serve them alongside chocolate truffles, fruit skewers, or a light mousse for an elegant dessert spread. Pair with coffee or a glass of rosé for a lovely finish to any meal.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a sealed container for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. No reheating needed—they’re meant to be enjoyed cold.
