Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

Bring cream cheese to room temperature for easier blending. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even consistency.

Step 2 — Incorporate Crushed Cookies

Crush graham crackers or vanilla wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Fold the crumbs into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

The mixture should hold together when pressed—if too dry, add a teaspoon of milk; if too wet, add more crumbs.

Step 3 — Add Raspberry Flavor

Gently fold in raspberry jam or freeze-dried raspberry powder. For intense flavor, use seedless jam to avoid crunchy bits in your White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls.

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed—remember the white chocolate coating will add extra sweetness later.

Step 4 — Shape the Cheesecake Balls

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into smooth, compact balls between your palms. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill the balls in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until firm—this prevents them from melting when dipped in warm chocolate.

Step 5 — Melt the White Chocolate

Chop high-quality white chocolate into uniform pieces for even melting. Use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Avoid overheating—white chocolate scorches easily. If it seizes, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil to restore smoothness.

Step 6 — Coat the Cheesecake Balls

Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled ball in melted white chocolate, tapping off excess. Work quickly as cold centers can cause chocolate to set fast.

Return coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet. If desired, sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries for color and texture before the chocolate hardens.

Step 7 — Set and Serve

Allow the white chocolate coating to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes. The coating should be firm to the touch without sticking.

Store finished White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled for best texture.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Mistake: Using overly soft cream cheese. Fix: Start with chilled, full-fat cream cheese for a firmer mixture that holds its shape.
• Mistake: Adding too much raspberry filling. Fix: Use a scant teaspoon per ball to prevent the filling from leaking out during coating.
• Mistake: Not chilling the cheesecake mixture long enough. Fix: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until very firm, to make rolling easier.
• Mistake: Overheating the white chocolate when melting. Fix: Melt in short bursts, stirring frequently, to avoid a thick, clumpy texture.
• Mistake: Rolling balls with warm hands. Fix: Chill your hands or wear food-safe gloves to prevent the mixture from melting.
• Mistake: Skipping the parchment paper for setting. Fix: Always place dipped balls on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.
• Mistake: Using runny jam instead of thick preserves. Fix: Opt for seedless raspberry preserves, which provide better structure and flavor.
• Mistake: Dipping balls that aren’t cold enough. Fix: Freeze the rolled balls for 15-20 minutes so the coating sets quickly and evenly.

Storing Tips

• Fridge: Store White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep them chilled below 40°F for food safety.
• Freezer: Place the cheesecake balls on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Thaw frozen cheesecake balls in the refrigerator overnight. For a fresh taste, let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Always use clean utensils when handling these cheesecake balls to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.

Store your White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months.

My white chocolate coating is too thick. How can I thin it for easier dipping?

You can thin your white chocolate by adding a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening and gently reheating it. This will create a smoother, thinner consistency perfect for coating your White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls Recipe.
