Description
These no-bake strawberry cheesecake truffles are creamy, tangy, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. Perfect for quick, fuss-free dessert treats that are ideal for parties or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
- 1 cup (about 150g) fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 oz (170g) white chocolate chips (optional, for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (for coating)
Instructions
- Wash and hull fresh strawberries. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth. If no processor, mash finely with a fork.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture until consistent pink batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the chilled mixture. Roll each portion into 1-inch diameter balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Coat or dip truffles as desired: roll in graham cracker crumbs, dip in melted white chocolate, or roll in crushed freeze-dried strawberries (or a combination).
- Chill coated truffles in the fridge for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Serve chilled. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor. Avoid frozen strawberries as they add too much moisture. Chill mixture twice for easier rolling and coating. Truffles are best eaten within 3 days but keep up to 5 days refrigerated. If too firm, let sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes before serving.
