Description
Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites are creamy no bake treats made with sweetened cream cheese, strawberry flavor, and a crunchy strawberry coating. These bite sized desserts are simple to prepare, require only a few ingredients, and are perfect for parties, holidays, or quick freezer treats.
Ingredients
1 stick (8 oz) softened cream cheese
1/2 cup regular sugar
1 tablespoon strawberry emulsion
2 tablespoons Cool Whip
Strawberry crunch topping (for coating)
Instructions
- Cream the base: Mix the softened cream cheese and sugar for about 5 minutes until creamy.
- Flavor and fold: Add the strawberry emulsion and Cool Whip, mixing until smooth.
- Shape and freeze: Scoop small dollops of the mixture onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Freeze for 3 hours.
- Coat: Roll each chilled bite in the strawberry crunch topping until fully coated.
- Set: Freeze the finished bites overnight for the best texture.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to prevent lumps.
Use a small cookie scoop to create evenly sized bites.
If the mixture becomes too soft while shaping, place it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before continuing.
Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain their texture.
