Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites (Printer-Friendly)

Creamy cheesecake balls coated with a strawberry Oreo crunch for a perfect creamy and crunchy texture.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Cheesecake Filling

01 - 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
02 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
03 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream, well chilled
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, adjustable

→ Crunch Coating

05 - 1 package Golden Oreos, crushed
06 - 1 package strawberry gelatin powder
07 - 4 tbsp unsalted melted butter

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Combine crushed Golden Oreos and strawberry gelatin powder in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix until the mixture has a crumbly yet cohesive texture resembling wet sand.
02 - Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
03 - Using a cookie scoop or hands, portion the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
04 - Roll each frozen cheesecake ball in the prepared Oreo crunch coating, pressing gently to ensure thorough adhesion.
05 - Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to thaw slightly before serving if chilled.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For optimal whipping, ensure the heavy cream is thoroughly chilled. Allow bites to thaw slightly if stored frozen before serving.
