Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake Bites:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (for coating)
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup crushed golden graham cereal or cornflakes (for crunch)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
For the Coating:
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer cookies
- 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes or crispy cereal
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Form the Cheesecake Bites: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture. Roll it into a small ball and create a small indentation in the center of each ball with your finger.
- Add the Strawberry Jam: Spoon about a teaspoon of strawberry jam into the indentation of each cheesecake ball. Gently close the ball around the jam, ensuring it’s sealed inside.
- Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers, crushed cornflakes, sugar, and melted butter. This will give the bites their crunchy exterior.
- Coat the Cheesecake Bites: Roll each stuffed cheesecake ball into the crumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place them on a lined baking tray or plate.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 1-2 hours to allow them to firm up.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve your Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites as a sweet and delicious treat!
Enjoy these fun, bite-sized desserts that everyone will love!
