Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, full-fat preferred or reduced-fat as an alternative
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, well-chilled
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar, adjustable to taste
Crunch Coating
- 1 package Golden Oreos, crushed (or substitute with vanilla wafers or graham crackers)
- 1 package Strawberry Gelatin Powder (or use crushed freeze-dried strawberries as a natural alternative)
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Melted Butter
Instructions
- Prepare Crunch Coating: In a bowl, mix the crushed Golden Oreos with the strawberry gelatin powder. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand—crumbly but sticking together when pressed.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined.
- Shape Cheesecake Mixture: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange them on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
- Coat Cheesecake Bites: Roll each frozen cheesecake ball in the Oreo and strawberry crunch coating, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy the cheesecake bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- You can substitute Golden Oreos with vanilla wafers or graham crackers if preferred.
- Using freeze-dried crushed strawberries instead of gelatin powder is a natural alternative that adds texture and flavor.
- For best results, chill the heavy cream thoroughly before whipping to stiff peaks.
- If you prefer a firmer bite, freeze the cheesecake balls longer before coating.
- Keep cheesecake bites refrigerated and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
