Ingredients
  

For the truffle filling
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Gives a crunchy texture reminiscent of a classic cheesecake crust.
  • 4 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese Essential for a rich, creamy cheesecake flavor.
  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar Gently sweetens the mixture.
  • 1/3 cup finely diced strawberries Adds a burst of freshness.
  • 10 ounces coarsely chopped white chocolate Envelops the truffles in a sweet coating.
  • 1 drop red or pink food coloring Optional, for visual appeal.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese, and confectioners’ sugar using a handheld mixer or food processor.
  3. Gently fold in the finely diced strawberries.
  4. Using a spoon, drop balls of about 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, roll the mixture into smoother, rounder balls.
  7. Melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 15-second increments until smooth.
  8. Dip each truffle fully into melted white chocolate and place back onto the baking sheet.
  9. If desired, drizzle with colored chocolate before it sets.
  10. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes until the chocolate has completely set.

Notes

Consider adding crushed strawberries on top before the chocolate sets for added color. To make gluten-free, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
