tep-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Cheesecake Crunch Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine:
    • 8 oz softened cream cheese
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup strawberry puree
  2. Beat with a hand mixer (or whisk vigorously) until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
    Pro Tip: Scrape down the bowl’s sides to ensure no lumps remain!

Step 2: Chill the Filling

  1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  2. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (this firms up the mixture for easy rolling).

Step 3: Make the Crunch Coating

  1. In a separate bowl, mix:
    • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
    • ½ cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
  2. Stir until evenly combined—it should resemble wet sand.

Step 4: Form the Cheesecake Balls

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use a small cookie scoop (or a teaspoon) to portion the chilled filling.
  3. Roll into 1-inch balls (lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking).

Step 5: Coat with Glaze & Crunch Mixture

  1. Dip each ball into 1 cup strawberry glaze, letting excess drip off.
  2. Immediately roll in the graham cracker mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Place on the prepared sheet.

Step 6: Set and Serve

  1. Refrigerate for 1 hour (or freeze for 15 minutes if in a hurry!).
  2. Optional garnish: Drizzle with extra glaze or sprinkle freeze-dried strawberry dust.
