Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1/2 cup strawberry jam
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup crushed golden sandwich cookies
1/2 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until completely smooth.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until creamy and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
4. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Stir in the chopped fresh strawberries and lightly swirl in the strawberry jam.
6. Cover and chill the filling for 1 to 2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
7. In another bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, crushed golden sandwich cookies, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter.
8. Scoop the chilled filling into small portions and roll into bite-sized balls.
9. Roll each bite in the strawberry crunch coating until fully covered.
10. Place the bites on a tray and chill again for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not skip the chilling time, because warm or soft filling will be too sticky to roll and the bites will not hold their shape well.
