Cheesecake Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese, white chocolate chips, and frozen raspberries. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly incorporated; the filling should be thick yet creamy.
Forming Balls
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the cheesecake mixture into small balls (roughly 1 inch). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- You should create about 20-24 balls depending on size. Ensure they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
Chilling
- Refrigerate the formed cheesecake balls for about 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to coat later.
Melting Chocolate
- Melt the white melting chocolate according to package instructions, typically in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring well between each.
Coating
- Remove chilled cheesecake balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat until all are covered.
Garnishing and Setting
- While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle crushed freeze-dried raspberries on top of each ball.
- Return them to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
Serving
- Once set, serve the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls on a decorative platter with fresh raspberries.
- Enjoy these delightful treats chilled with family and friends.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is room temperature for easy mixing. Chill between steps and let excess chocolate drip off for a clean finish.
