White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls

Delicious and elegant White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls combine creamy cheesecake with fresh raspberries and a smooth white chocolate coating. No baking needed, easy to make, and perfect for parties, gifts, or special indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or cookies (can use gluten-free)

Coating and Toppings

  • 8 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • Optional toppings: crushed nuts (pistachios, almonds, or pecans), freeze-dried raspberry powder, additional melted chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy to form a fluffy sweet base.
  2. Gently Fold in Raspberries: Carefully fold fresh raspberries into the cream cheese mixture, trying not to crush them to keep pockets of fruity freshness.
  3. Shape the Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, form the mixture into uniform balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for at least one hour until firm.
  4. Melt White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate chips or wafers in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring frequently to ensure smoothness and avoid burning.
  5. Coat the Balls: Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate until fully covered. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper to set.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: Before the coating hardens, sprinkle crushed nuts, freeze-dried raspberry powder, or drizzle additional melted chocolate for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture and best flavor.
  • Chill the balls thoroughly before dipping to avoid them breaking or melting.
  • Melt chocolate slowly using low power or a double boiler to prevent seizing.
  • Use only fresh raspberries to avoid excess moisture making the mixture soggy.
  • For a thicker coating, dip the balls twice in white chocolate.
