Gather Your No-Bake Cheesecake Balls Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create these delicious treats:

  • 15.25 oz (430 g) Funfetti cake mix (heat-treated)
  • 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz (227 g) white almond bark (for coating)
  • Colorful sprinkles (for topping)

Step-by-Step No-Bake Cheesecake Balls Recipe

  1. Start by heat-treating the cake mix: Pour it into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in two intervals of 30 seconds each, stirring between each round. Allow it to cool completely before moving on to the next step.

  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese for 2 to 3 minutes using a mixer, until it’s completely smooth and creamy.

  3. Add the cooled cake mix to the cream cheese and combine well. Once fully mixed, cover your bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours. This helps the flavors meld together and makes it easier to shape.

  4. Once chilled, take out the mixture and scoop 1 tablespoon portions. Roll each portion into smooth balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. Next, melt the white almond bark: Use a microwave-safe bowl again, heating the bark in 30-second intervals until it becomes melted and silky smooth.

  6. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted almond bark, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, sprinkle colorful toppings on top. Chill the cheesecake balls in the refrigerator until the coating is set before serving.
