Ingredients
Scale
- Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed into a powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Coating:
- 10 oz white or dark chocolate, melted
- Garnish (optional):
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the crushed freeze-dried raspberries and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. - Chill the Mixture:
Place the raspberry cheesecake mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll into balls. - Form the Truffles:
Once chilled, use a spoon or small cookie scoop to portion the cheesecake filling into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball between your hands to smooth, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. - Freeze the Truffles:
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the truffles for about 30 minutes to set. - Coat the Truffles:
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. - Garnish and Set:
If desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each truffle for added texture. Let the truffles sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is fully set. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chocolate has hardened, your raspberry cheesecake truffles are ready to enjoy! Garnish with fresh raspberries for an extra touch if desired.
Notes
- For an extra burst of raspberry flavor, add a small fresh raspberry inside each truffle before rolling.
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
