Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites (Print Format)

Smooth cheesecake bites rolled in strawberry Oreo crunch deliver creamy and crunchy flavors in every bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Cheesecake Filling

01 - 8 oz Cream Cheese, full-fat preferred or reduced-fat as an alternative
02 - 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
03 - 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, well-chilled
04 - 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar, adjustable to taste

→ Crunch Coating

05 - 1 package Golden Oreos, crushed (or substitute with vanilla wafers or graham crackers)
06 - 1 package Strawberry Gelatin Powder (or use crushed freeze-dried strawberries as a natural alternative)
07 - 4 tbsp Unsalted Melted Butter

# Steps:

01 - In a bowl, combine crushed Golden Oreos and strawberry gelatin powder. Pour in melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand, crumbly yet cohesive when pressed.
02 - Beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add pure vanilla extract and powdered sugar, mixing well. Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl 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 cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
04 - Roll each frozen cheesecake ball in the Oreo crunch coating, pressing gently to ensure thorough sticking.
05 - Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

# Tips:

01 - For best results, ensure the heavy cream is thoroughly chilled before whipping.
02 - Allow strawberry crunch cheesecake bites to thaw slightly if stored in the freezer before serving.
