¼ cup (50g) powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (60g) crushed graham crackers (or digestive biscuits)
½ cup (75g) fresh or freeze-dried raspberries (crushed)

For the Coating:

10 oz (280g) white chocolate, melted
1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for a smoother coating)
Extra crushed freeze-dried raspberries or white chocolate shavings (for garnish)

📝 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold in the crushed graham crackers and raspberries until well combined.
Refrigerate for about 20–30 minutes to firm up.

2️⃣ Shape the Balls

Once firm, scoop out small portions (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll them into balls.
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

3️⃣ Coat with White Chocolate

Melt white chocolate with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, letting excess drip off.
Place them back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with crushed raspberries or chocolate shavings.

4️⃣ Set and Serve

Allow the chocolate to harden in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
Enjoy chilled!
