These Strawberry Cheesecake Truffles are a delightful no-bake treat combining crushed graham crackers, freeze-dried strawberries, and creamy brick-style cream cheese, all coated in a smooth white chocolate or vanilla almond bark shell. Perfect for a sweet snack or elegant dessert, they’re easy to make and can be decorated with reserved strawberry crumbs or sprinkles for a festive touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 12 graham cracker sheets
  • 1 oz bag freeze-dried strawberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature (brick style)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Coating

  • 16 oz white chocolate or vanilla almond bark

Optional Decorations

  • 1 Tbsp reserved strawberry graham cracker crumbs
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush Graham Crackers: Place the graham cracker sheets into a food processor and crush them into fine crumbs.
  2. Add Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Add the freeze-dried strawberries to the crushed graham crackers and blend until well combined.
  3. Reserve Crumbs (Optional): If desired, set aside 1 tablespoon of the strawberry graham cracker crumbs for decorating the truffles later.
  4. Mix Cream Cheese: Add softened brick-style cream cheese to the mixture and blend until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Add Powdered Sugar: Add the powdered sugar and continue blending until the mixture is combined into a dough-like consistency.
  6. Form Truffle Balls: Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture, rolling each scoop into a small ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Freeze Truffles: Freeze the truffle balls for 15-30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to coat with chocolate.
  8. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate or vanilla almond bark in the microwave using short bursts and stirring in between for a smooth finish.
  9. Roll and Dip: Gently roll each truffle to smooth the shape, then dip each one into the melted white chocolate using a fork. Tap the fork on the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate.
  10. Set Coated Truffles: Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment paper to allow the chocolate coating to set.
  11. Use a Toothpick for Removal: To easily remove truffles from the fork, use a cake tester or toothpick to gently slide them off.
  12. Decorate Truffles: Pour leftover melted chocolate into a piping bag or plastic bag, snip off the tip, and drizzle chocolate over the set truffles for decoration.
  13. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the reserved strawberry graham cracker crumbs or sprinkles over the drizzled truffles while the chocolate is still soft.
  14. Chill to Set: Chill the decorated truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to fully set.
  15. Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover truffles stored in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Using brick-style cream cheese at room temperature helps ensure a smooth truffle mixture.
  • Freezing the truffles before dipping prevents them from falling apart during coating.
  • Melt chocolate gently in short intervals to avoid burning.
  • Reserve some strawberry graham cracker crumbs for extra decoration and flavor contrast.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
