Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffles Recipe


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed (about 4-5 strawberries)
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

For the Coating:
• 8 ounces white chocolate or chocolate coating
• Optional: additional graham cracker crumbs for garnish
• Optional: chopped strawberries for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
1. Mix Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Incorporate Strawberry Puree: Fold in the strawberry puree until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
4. Add Graham Cracker Crumbs: Gently mix in the graham cracker crumbs until fully incorporated.

Step 2: Form the Truffles
1. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheesecake mixture for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
2. Shape Truffles: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3: Chill Again
1. Refrigerate: Place the formed truffles back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 4: Coat the Truffles
1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate according to package instructions, stirring until smooth.
2. Dip Truffles: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs or chopped strawberries on top of the truffles before the chocolate sets.

Step 5: Set and Serve
1. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
2. Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffles!
