Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp raspberry preserves
1 pinch salt
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed, divided
2 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate, divided
1 tsp coconut oil or neutral oil
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until completely smooth.
2. Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, raspberry preserves, and salt until creamy.
3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the crushed freeze-dried raspberries, and 1/2 cup of melted white chocolate.
4. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture for 30 to 45 minutes until firm enough to scoop.
5. Scoop and roll the filling into 12 even balls, then place them on a parchment-lined tray.
6. Freeze the balls for 20 to 30 minutes so they become firm.
7. Melt the remaining 2 cups white chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth.
8. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate and let the excess drip off.
9. Place the coated balls back on the tray, then sprinkle with the remaining crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
10. Chill until the coating is fully set, then serve cold or lightly chilled.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and the richest cheesecake flavor.
If the coating starts to thicken while dipping, warm the white chocolate for a few seconds and stir until smooth again.
