Ingredients

  

• For the Cheesecake Filling:
• 8 oz 225 g cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks
• For the Strawberry Crunch Coating:
• 20 Golden sandwich cookies like Golden Oreos
• 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
• 3 tbsp melted butter

Equipment

• Mixing bowls
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Rubber spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Food processor (for crushing cookies & strawberries)
• Measuring cups & spoons
• Cookie scoop (optional, for even sizing)

Method

 

1. Make the filling
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
4. Fold in whipped cream
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
6. Shape the bites
7. Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls.
8. Place on a lined baking sheet.
9. Freeze
10. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
11. Prepare the strawberry crunch
12. Crush the golden cookies and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor.
13. Mix with melted butter until crumbly.
14. Coat the bites
15. Roll each frozen cheesecake ball in the strawberry crunch mixture until fully coated.
16. Chill before serving
17. Refrigerate 15–20 minutes before serving for best texture.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
• Freeze the cheesecake balls until firm before coating — this helps the strawberry crunch stick better.
• For a stronger strawberry flavor, add 1–2 tablespoons of strawberry powder to the filling.
• If the coating doesn’t stick well, lightly brush the bites with a little melted white chocolate before rolling in the crunch mixture.
• Keep refrigerated until serving — these bites soften quickly at room temperature.
• For cleaner shaping, use a small cookie scoop to keep all bites uniform in size.
• You can prepare them up to 2 days in advance for parties or events.
