Why You’ll Love These Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffle Bites

These truffle bites are everything you want in a dessert: easy to prepare, no baking required, and bursting with real fruit flavor. They also store well and can be made ahead, which makes them incredibly convenient. Plus, you can roll them in crushed freeze-dried strawberries, chocolate drizzle, or even festive sprinkles depending on the occasion. They feel like a luxurious treat without all the work of baking a full cheesecake.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries in This Recipe?

Yes, you can! While fresh strawberries are ideal for the brightest flavor and best texture, frozen strawberries work just fine. Be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid adding excess moisture to the cheesecake mixture. If your mixture ends up too soft, a quick chill in the freezer will help it firm up nicely before rolling into truffle bites.

Ingredients for the Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffle Bites

Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffle Bites only need a handful of simple ingredients, but each one plays an important role in creating that perfect bite-sized indulgence.

• Cream cheese: The creamy base that gives each bite its rich, tangy core.
• Strawberries: Fresh or freeze-dried, these provide natural sweetness and bright fruity flavor.
• Powdered sugar: Sweetens the filling while keeping it smooth and soft.
• Vanilla extract: Adds warm depth and enhances the strawberry and cream notes.
• White chocolate: Melts into a dreamy coating that contrasts perfectly with the tangy interior.
• Graham cracker crumbs or freeze-dried strawberry crumbs: For rolling and adding texture to the outer layer.

How To Make the Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffle Bites

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Mixture

Start by beating cream cheese until it’s soft and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and finely chopped or mashed strawberries. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too runny, pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes.

Step 2: Shape Into Truffles

Once the mixture is firm enough to handle, scoop small amounts and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and return them to the freezer to set.

Step 3: Dip in Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate until smooth. Use a fork or skewer to dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let the excess drip off and return each one to the tray.

Step 4: Add the Final Touch

While the coating is still tacky, roll or sprinkle each truffle with graham cracker crumbs or freeze-dried strawberry crumbs. Let them set until the chocolate hardens completely.

How to Store and Serve Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffle Bites

These truffle bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. They’re best enjoyed slightly chilled so the texture stays firm and creamy. This recipe makes about 18 to 20 truffles, perfect for a small gathering or to have on hand as a sweet treat throughout the week.

If you’re serving them at a party, arrange them on a decorative platter and garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for a beautiful touch. They also make wonderful edible gifts packaged in a box or jar.
