Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed, divided
12 oz white chocolate, melted
1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until completely smooth.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until creamy and fully combined.
3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and 3/4 cup of the crushed freeze-dried raspberries until the mixture is thick and evenly blended.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the filling.
5. Scoop the mixture into small portions and roll into 16 even balls.
6. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes, until firm.
7. Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
8. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
9. Place the coated balls back on the tray and sprinkle with the remaining crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
10. Chill until the coating is set, then serve cold.
Notes
Do not skip chilling the filling and freezing the rolled balls, or they can soften too quickly and fall apart when dipped in the melted white chocolate.
