Strawberry Cheesecake Bites Ingredients

You’ll need:

1 (15.25-ounce) box of strawberry cake mix
1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
12 ounces of pink candy wafer melts
4 ounces of white almond bark (optional drizzle)

Substitutions And Additions

WHITE CHOCOLATE: You can substitute red sanding sugar for the white almond bark drizzle to coat these little strawberry cheesecake bites.

CAKE MIX: You can use any cake mix in place of the strawberry flavor for this easy recipe. You can even use brownie mix if you’d like for a different spin on this recipe.

COATING: You can also roll these mini strawberry cheesecakes in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cake mix, graham cracker crumbs, melted milk or white chocolate, crushed Oreo cookies, or colorful sprinkles.

How To Make This Strawberry Cheesecake Bites Recipe

STEP ONE: Before adding the cake mix, it is important to heat treat the dry cake mix. Pour the dry cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Microwave the cake mix in two 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Allow the cake mix to cool completely before mixing it into the cream cheese.

STEP TWO: Using a medium bowl and a hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 2 to 2½ minutes until completely smooth.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the cream cheese filling.

STEP THREE: Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top of the cream cheese. Continue mixing until the dry cake mix is completely incorporated, and no pockets of the dry mix remain.

PRO TIP:

It’s very important to make sure the cake mix is fully mixed with the cream cheese.

STEP FOUR: Tightly cover the cream cheese mixture and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

STEP FIVE: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.

STEP SIX: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cheesecake mixture. Roll into a ball and set the cheesecake bites onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the steps.

PRO TIP:

You can allow the uncoated cheesecake bites to sit overnight in the refrigerator before the next step. The cake mix will expand, and the coating may crack if you coat the bites too soon.

STEP SEVEN: Using a heat-safe medium-sized mixing bowl, heat the candy wafer melts in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely melted.

STEP EIGHT: Roll the cream cheese balls in the melted candy wafers. Place the coated cheesecake balls on a fork and gently tap any excess coating off. You can also use a spoon to pour the coating over any bare spots on the cheesecake bites.

PRO TIP:

Use a toothpick to remove the excess melted wafer from the bottom of the fork and then to gently push the ball onto the prepared baking sheet.
