Strawberry Cheesecake Truffles
Strawberry Cheesecake Truffles taste just like a slice of strawberry cheesecake in a bite-sized form. You only need 5 ingredients to make them! They are the perfect gift for Valentine's Day.
Servings: truffles
Ingredients
- 5.3 oz (150 gr) graham crackers or digestive biscuits, about 1 1/4 cups crumbs
- 0.7 oz (20 gr) freeze-dried strawberries, about 2 1/2 tbsp powder
- 4 oz (113 gr) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp (15 gr) confectioners' sugar
- 6 oz (170 gr) white chocolate, about 1 cup
Instructions
- Add graham crackers and freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop them and crush them with a rolling pin on your cutting board until they are broken down to fine crumbs.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the crumbs for decorating.
- Add cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Pulse until combined.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Freeze the balls for 15-20 minutes.
- Place the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler, or a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Stir until melted. You can also melt it in 20-second increment, stirring well between each interval to prevent scorching.
- Remove the balls from the freezer. Dip each ball in the melted chocolate using a skewer or fork. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off. Use a toothpick to slide the truffle off the fork onto a lined plate or baking sheet.
- The shell will harden quickly. If decorating with a chocolate drizzle, let the coating set before you use a piping bag to drizzle the remaining melted chocolate across the tops. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbs or diced freeze-dried strawberries before the chocolate sets.
- Once the chocolate is set, you can store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Notes
You can substitute the graham crackers with 18 golden Oreos.
