Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 16 oz. cream cheese (softened)
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Strawberry Mixture
- 3/4 cup strawberries (finely diced)
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
Coating
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Beat the Cream Cheese and Sugar: Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar until fully combined.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. In a separate small bowl, combine the finely diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar and let them macerate slightly.
- Fold in Strawberries & Freeze: Gently fold the sugared diced strawberries into the cheesecake mixture. Transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for 6 hours or overnight. When ready, remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften slightly for easier handling.
- Form Cheesecake Balls: Scoop out 1/8 cup portions of the mixture, roll them between your hands to form balls, and place them on a tray. Freeze the balls in batches as you prepare them to maintain firmness.
- Coat with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Coat each cheesecake ball thoroughly with graham cracker crumbs by rolling them on a plate filled with crumbs. Arrange coated balls in a container and return them to the freezer until serving.
Notes
- Allowing the cheesecake mixture to soften slightly before rolling helps prevent cracking.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits if preferred.
- Store cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- Let the bites sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
