What Kind of White Chocolate Should I Use?

Since white chocolate is the main coating, go for high-quality white chocolate bars or melting wafers for the smoothest finish. Avoid white chocolate chips, as they often include stabilizers that prevent proper melting. Brands like Ghirardelli or Lindt offer great melting consistency and flavor.

Ingredients for the Irresistible White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls

Cream Cheese – The rich, tangy base for your cheesecake center. Make sure it’s full-fat and softened to room temperature for a silky blend.

Powdered Sugar – Sweetens the filling and dissolves smoothly into the cream cheese.

Vanilla Extract – Adds warmth and depth to balance the tart raspberries.

Fresh or Frozen Raspberries – Provide vibrant bursts of flavor and color. If using frozen, let them thaw and drain first.

White Chocolate Wafers or Bars – For that creamy shell that encases the filling.

Raspberry Jam (optional for drizzle) – A glossy red finish that adds extra raspberry punch and visual flair.

How To Make the Irresistible White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls

Step 1: Blend the Cheesecake Base

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth. This forms the creamy base of your cheesecake bites.

Step 2: Add the Raspberries

Gently fold in the raspberries. If they’re too juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel first to avoid thinning out the mixture.

Step 3: Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl and place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. This firms up the mixture enough to roll into balls easily.

Step 4: Roll and Freeze

Scoop tablespoons of the chilled filling and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze them for another 30 minutes.

Step 5: Dip in White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate wafers or bars using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Dip each ball in the melted chocolate using a fork, then set them back on the tray to harden.

Step 6: Drizzle with Raspberry Jam

Warm up the raspberry jam slightly and drizzle over the white chocolate shells for a pop of color and added flavor.
