Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Coating
- 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs (such as graham cracker or digestive biscuits)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and chopped fresh strawberries. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and uniformly blended.
- Form the cheesecake bites: Shape the filling mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, using your hands or a small scoop.
- Prepare the coating: In a separate bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined to create a crumbly coating mixture.
- Coat the bites: Roll each cheesecake bite in the cookie crumb mixture until fully coated, ensuring an even crunchy exterior.
- Chill the bites: Place the coated cheesecake bites on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm and chilled before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling.
- Substitute cookie crumbs with crushed nuts for a different crunch texture.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
- Store leftover cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
