Cheesecake Bites Recipe

4.4 from 69 reviews

Delicious and easy-to-make cheesecake bites that combine a creamy cheesecake center with a crunchy graham cracker crust, dipped in melted chocolate and topped with mini chocolate chips for a perfect bite-sized dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Topping

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs to form the base ingredient for the cheesecake bites.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until fully incorporated.
  3. Shape the bites. Roll the cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  4. Chill the bites. Place the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to handle for dipping.
  5. Dip in chocolate. Dip each chilled cheesecake bite into the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Immediately sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for added texture.
  6. Set the chocolate. Refrigerate the coated cheesecake bites for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth filling.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits if preferred.
  • For an extra touch, add a pinch of salt to the filling to balance sweetness.
  • Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Allow bites to come to room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
