Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 6 fresh strawberries, chopped
• ¾ cup frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
• 15 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 (1.55 ounce) bar white chocolate

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in strawberries and jam to incorporate. Stir in whipped topping using a spatula. Stir in graham cracker crumbs. Freeze for 2 hours.

Step 3

Drop tablespoonfuls of cheesecake mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Shape each dollop into a ball using your hand; if the mixture is too soft to work with, place in the freezer for a few minutes to harden.

Step 4

Place shaped truffles into the freezer until completely frozen, about 2 hours.

Step 5

Melt semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Let set to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Remove truffles from the freezer and dip into melted chocolate using a fork or spoon, working in small batches. Place onto parchment paper.

Step 7

Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour carefully into a zip-top bag, cut off 1 corner, and drizzle over truffles. Store truffles in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to serve, at least 15 minutes.
