Cheesecake Bites Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by mixing softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, then folding in graham cracker crumbs. Powdered sugar is incorporated gradually to sweeten and thicken the mixture. After chilling, the batter is scooped into balls, shaped further, and chilled again to firm. Melted chocolate is used to coat these balls completely, providing a firm outer shell that contrasts with the creamy interior. White chocolate is melted and drizzled over the coated bites for decoration. Chilling after coating helps the outer chocolate set firmly.
The final cheesecake bites can be served cold from the refrigerator and stored for several days, or frozen for longer preservation, making them convenient for make-ahead occasions or gifting.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 10 ounces chocolate candy coating
- 4 ounces white chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Mix cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until well combined. Fold in graham cracker crumbs and mix well.
- Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until mixed well. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the batter, and place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Roll scoops into more round balls and refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes.
- While the balls are chilling, melt chocolate in a small pot, mixing constantly until melted.
- Place a ball on a fork and dip it in chocolate making sure to coat completely. Place the ball on wax paper and refrigerate.
- Melt white candy coating and place in a Ziploc bag with one corner cut. Drizzle chocolate over balls and let harden. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
