Description

These No-Bake Cheesecake Bites are deliciously creamy and easy-to-make treats combining a smooth cream cheese filling with a crisp graham cracker base, all coated in rich chocolate. Perfect for a quick dessert or party snack without the need for an oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, crushed
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Chocolate Coating

  • 10 oz chocolate chips or almond bark

Instructions

  1. Combine Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fully combined, creating a creamy base for the cheesecake mixture.
  2. Add Graham Cracker Crumbs: Stir in the crushed graham cracker crumbs thoroughly to incorporate the crunchy texture into the mixture.
  3. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, about one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with the cheesecake mixture tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up for easier shaping.
  5. Shape the Cheesecake Bites: Scoop the chilled mixture into small balls using a spoon or scoop and roll between your palms to form smooth, round bites. Place the formed balls onto a piece of parchment paper.
  6. Firm Before Dipping: Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for 10-20 minutes to further firm them up before the chocolate coating process.
  7. Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips or almond bark according to package instructions, ensuring it is smooth and ready for dipping.
  8. Dip Cheesecake Bites: Completely cover each cheesecake ball in the melted chocolate, fully coating it for a delicious outer shell.
  9. Set the Coating: Place the chocolate-coated bites back onto parchment paper and let cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens fully.
  10. Store for Best Taste: Keep the finished cheesecake bites refrigerated to maintain texture and flavor until serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature to achieve a smooth mixture without lumps.
  • Powdered sugar can be adjusted slightly for sweetness preference.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling and dipping phases.
  • Chocolate coating can be flavored by adding a small amount of vanilla extract or espresso powder while melting.
  • Store cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
