INGREDIENTS You Need

This Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together! Here’s what you’ll want on hand:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (room temp is best for easy mixing)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (sweet but smooth!)
  • 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (or fresh raspberry puree if you prefer)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (because vanilla brings it all home)
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips, melted (the magic in chocolate covered cheesecake truffles)

  • Optional: extra freeze-dried raspberries for rolling or topping for that pop of color and tartness
Ingredients for Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles including cream cheese, powdered sugar, freeze-dried raspberries, vanilla, white chocolate chips, and graham crackers

No worries if you don’t have freeze-dried raspberries — I use fresh raspberry puree in my Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles all the time. It adds a fresh brightness that’s incredible! You can grab all these ingredients during your normal grocery trip, no specialty stores needed.

For busy weeknights, having softened cream cheese ready will save you precious minutes — I sometimes leave out the powdered sugar for a sugar-free twist or swap white chocolate chips for dark chocolate for a rich flavor swap.

Storage tip: Keep your Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles refrigerated in airtight containers. They stay fresh for up to a week, which is perfect for quick raspberry dessert bites anytime cravings hit!

I love adding extra crushed freeze-dried raspberries to my Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles for that vibrant tang and pretty splash of color. Bold flavor that shines bright!

Let’s Make Some!

  1. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. This is where the magic starts happening! Your Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles mix should look silky and luscious.

  3. Optional step: Stir in crushed graham crackers if you want some texture magic. This little addition takes Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles to the next level of cozy comfort.
  4. Chill the mixture for 30 minutes in the fridge. This helps the cheesy goodness firm up and makes rolling easier. If you’re feeling impatient (I get it!), pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes — talk about quick raspberry dessert bites!
  5. Roll the mixture into small balls — about 1 inch each. This part is fun and hands-on! Don’t worry if your truffles look a little imperfect; that’s homemade charm.
  6. Dip each ball into melted white chocolate and lay on parchment paper to set. This is my favorite part — watching these Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles turn into chocolate covered cheesecake truffles that taste like heaven.
