Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 1 cup (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature (226 grams)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (66 grams)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (4 ml)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold (120 ml)
  • 3 Tbsp powdered sugar (25 grams)

Coating

  • 2/3 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 4 full sheet graham crackers, 66 grams)
  • 3 Tbsp salted butter, melted (42 grams)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup milk or dark chocolate chips, melted (90 grams)

Instructions

  1. Soften and whip the cream cheese: In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese at medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer. If cream cheese is cold, cut into small pieces and microwave in 15-second intervals until softened.
  2. Add sugar and vanilla: Mix in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract on medium speed for 1 minute until fully incorporated, lightening and fluffing the mixture. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar at medium-high speed using a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
  4. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula until fully combined, maintaining the fluffy texture.
  5. Form cheesecake balls: Using a large spoon or 1 1/2 Tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out 25 balls and place them on parchment or wax paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  6. Prepare graham cracker coating: Stir together the crushed graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl until evenly coated.
  7. Coat cheesecake bites: Remove the cheesecake balls from the freezer. Press the bottom half of each ball into the graham cracker mixture, then place them on clean parchment paper.
  8. Add chocolate topping: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the top of each cheesecake bite. Allow the chocolate to set.
  9. Store and serve: Store the cheesecake bites in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Serve straight from the freezer for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Room temperature cream cheese ensures a smooth, lump-free cheesecake mixture.
  • Use cold heavy cream for better whipping results that hold stiff peaks.
  • Freeze cheesecake balls thoroughly before coating to maintain shape.
  • Milk or dark chocolate can be used for the topping based on your preference.
  • Store cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
  • Enjoy these bites cold straight from the freezer for the perfect creamy texture.
