Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- 13.25 ounces box strawberry cake mix
- 12 ounces almond bark or pink melting wafers
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the fine sea salt and clear vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined to form the creamy cheesecake base.
- Add the Cake Mix: Gradually add the strawberry cake mix to the cheesecake base, stirring continuously until fully incorporated into a thick, moldable dough.
- Form the Bites: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet.
- Chill the Bites: Refrigerate the shaped cheesecake bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to coat.
- Melt the Almond Bark: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark or pink melting wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Bites: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cheesecake bite into the melted almond bark, ensuring it is fully covered. Allow excess coating to drip off before placing back on the parchment paper.
- Set the Coating: Let the coated bites stand at room temperature until the almond bark sets and hardens, approximately 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, refrigerate for faster setting.
- Serve: Once set, serve the strawberry cheesecake bites chilled or at room temperature for a creamy, sweet treat.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- You can substitute almond bark with any pink or white candy melts to customize the coating color.
- Store cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a festive touch, decorate with sprinkles or finely chopped freeze-dried strawberries before the coating sets.
