Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 4 oz cream cheese (half a block), softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for a sweeter finish)
Strawberry Crunch Topping
- 8–10 golden Oreos, crushed
- 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder (like Jell-O)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Crunch Topping: In a small bowl, combine the crushed golden Oreos with the strawberry gelatin powder, then stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles a crunchy topping. Set this aside.
- Make the Cream Cheese Base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar (if using) until combined thoroughly with the cream cheese.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light, airy texture.
- Combine Cream and Cream Cheese: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Form Cheesecake Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls with your hands.
- Freeze to Set: Place the cheesecake balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze them for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Coat with Crunchy Topping: Roll each chilled cheesecake ball in the prepared strawberry crunch topping, gently pressing to ensure it adheres to the surface.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately for best texture or store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a sweeter bite, add powdered sugar to taste in the cream cheese mixture.
- Use golden Oreos for a complementary flavor and color that pairs well with the strawberry gelatin.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
- Freeze the bites thoroughly before adding the crunchy coating for better adhesion.
- These bites are best served chilled but can be left out for short periods when serving.
