Time 4h45m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • 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.
  • Place shaped truffles into the freezer until completely frozen, about 2 hours.
  • 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.
  • Remove truffles from the freezer and dip into melted chocolate using a fork or spoon, working in small batches. Place onto parchment paper.
  • 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.
