Ingredients for Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites
For the cheesecake filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
For the strawberry crunch coating:
- 1 package of strawberry-flavored Jello (3 oz box)
- 1 1/2 cups Golden Oreos (about 15 cookies)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- Whip the cream cheese: In a medium-sized bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until fully combined.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches stiff peaks. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this as well. The whipped cream will give the cheesecake filling a light and fluffy texture.
- Fold in the whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream. This will create a light and creamy cheesecake filling.
2. Form the Cheesecake Bites
- Scoop the filling: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the cheesecake filling and roll them into balls. Aim for about 1 inch in diameter, but you can make them bigger or smaller depending on your preference.
- Chill the cheesecake bites: Place the formed cheesecake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until they firm up. Chilling them helps the bites hold their shape when coated.
3. Make the Strawberry Crunch Coating
- Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are finely crushed.
- Add the Jello: Add the strawberry-flavored Jello to the crushed Oreo crumbs and pulse a few more times to combine. The Jello will give the crunch topping a beautiful pink color and enhance the strawberry flavor.
- Add melted butter: Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is well combined and slightly moist. If you’d like it to be sweeter, you can add a bit of granulated sugar at this point.
