These creamy white chocolate strawberry cheesecake bites are quick, easy, and perfect for parties. They feature a smooth cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries wrapped in a crisp white chocolate shell.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs or finely crushed digestive biscuits (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (if making a crust or base)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease your mini muffin tin or silicone molds to prevent sticking. If adding a crust, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated, then press about 1 teaspoon into each mold bottom. Chill the crust while preparing the filling. (10 minutes)
  2. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent seizing. Set aside to cool slightly but keep fluid. (5 minutes)
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy with an electric mixer. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully combined. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while mixing on medium speed, whipping until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks. (8-10 minutes)
  4. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries with a spatula, trying not to crush them too much to keep fresh bursts in each bite. (2 minutes)
  5. Spoon or pipe about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling into each mold over the crust (if using). Smooth the tops gently. (5 minutes)
  6. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the filling firms up nicely. (120 minutes)
  7. Once chilled, carefully remove each cheesecake bite and dip or drizzle with the melted white chocolate. Work quickly before the chocolate hardens. Place on parchment paper to set. (10-15 minutes)
  8. Return the coated bites to the fridge for 15-20 minutes to let the white chocolate shell harden completely.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Melt white chocolate gently to prevent seizing. Be gentle folding in strawberries to keep their shape. Chill bites thoroughly before coating and after coating for best texture. Use silicone molds for easier removal. If white chocolate thickens during coating, warm gently again.
