Irresistible No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles

These Irresistible No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles are a delightfully simple and elegant dessert combining creamy cheesecake and vibrant raspberries in bite-sized, no-oven treats. Perfect for parties, gifting, or indulgent snacking, these truffles feature a smooth, tangy filling coated in sweet white chocolate, with customizable options for coatings and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed

For the Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (gluten-free if needed)
  • Optional: additional crushed freeze-dried raspberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried raspberries until evenly incorporated, giving the filling a natural pink hue and vibrant flavor.
  2. Shape the Truffles: Scoop small portions of the filling using a teaspoon or melon baller and roll into even bite-sized balls with clean hands. Place the formed truffles on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat to avoid seizing.
  4. Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate to fully coat. Place coated truffles back on the lined baking sheet. Optionally, roll or sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or freeze-dried raspberry crumbs for texture and decoration. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy chilled for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother, lump-free mixture.
  • Freeze-dried raspberries provide intense flavor without adding moisture that affects texture.
  • Chill truffles before coating to maintain shape and prevent melting of the filling.
  • Work quickly when dipping truffles to prevent chocolate from hardening prematurely.
  • Experiment with coatings such as dark or milk chocolate, cocoa powder, or different nut toppings for variety.
  • These truffles can be made vegan by substituting vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate.
