Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Cream cheese – 8 oz (full-fat, softened)
  • Powdered sugar – ¾ cup
  • Freeze-dried raspberries – ½ cup
  • White chocolate chips – 8 oz
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Mixture: In a food processor or using a mortar and pestle, crush the freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder. This concentrates the raspberry flavor without adding moisture.
  2. Mix the Cheesecake Base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and silky. Fold in the raspberry powder evenly to distribute the flavor and color.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cheesecake mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up, which makes shaping easier.
  4. Shape into Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out even amounts of the chilled mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt the white chocolate chips gently over simmering water or in short microwave bursts, stirring frequently to prevent overheating or graininess.
  6. Coat the Truffles: Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or toothpick, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper and refrigerate until the coating sets.
  7. Optional Decoration: Before the chocolate hardens completely, sprinkle crushed freeze-dried raspberries or edible glitter on top for added color and texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture and best taste.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly to make shaping easier.
  • Work quickly while coating with chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
  • Store truffles refrigerated in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
  • Melt white chocolate gently and stir often to avoid grainy texture.
