What Goes into These Cheesecake Bites
To whip up these tasty morsels, you’ll need:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese (room temperature)
- 4 tbsp (60 g) butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup (50 g) graham cracker crumbs, crushed
- 4 cups (480 g) powdered sugar
- 10 oz (280 g) chocolate chips or almond bark
Step-by-Step Cheesecake Bites Recipe
- In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and butter together until well combined. Use a hand mixer or a whisk for a smooth texture.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs and mix until they are fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
- Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. This will help to prevent lumps.
- Once everything is mixed, cover the cheesecake mixture and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This will make it easier to scoop and shape later.
- After chilling, scoop the cheesecake mixture into balls using a spoon or a cookie scoop. If needed, roll the balls gently between your palms to make them smooth.
- Arrange the balls on a piece of parchment paper.
- Place the cheesecake balls back in the refrigerator to firm up for 10–20 minutes.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips or almond bark according to the package instructions.
- Once melted, dip each cheesecake ball into the chocolate, making sure to coat them completely.
- Return the coated bites to the parchment paper and allow them to cool until the chocolate hardens.
- For the best taste and freshness, store the cheesecakes in the fridge.
