Ingredients
Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree
1 tsp vanilla extract
Crunch Coating:
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
2 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
Make filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Chill: Refrigerate the filling for 30 minutes to firm up.
Prepare coating: In a separate bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, freeze-dried strawberries, granulated sugar, and melted butter until crumbly.
Form bites: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the chilled cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls.
Coat: Dip each ball in the coating mixture, rolling to cover completely.
Set: Place bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
Freeze-dried strawberries add flavor and crunch without adding moisture.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container or freeze for longer.
Try crushed Oreos or Golden Oreos as coating alternatives.
