- Method: No-Bake
- Cuisine: American
- 8 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs, finely crushed
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
- 1/2 cup Strawberry Jam or Preserves
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 8 oz White Chocolate or Candy Melts
- Optional Toppings: freeze-dried strawberry pieces, extra graham cracker crumbs, colorful sprinkles, or chocolate drizzle
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your softened full-fat cream cheese, finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and non-alcohol vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours.
- Once chilled, remove the mixture from the fridge. Using a small cookie scoop (about 1-inch in diameter) or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, uniform balls. Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Pop the baking sheet with the rolled truffle balls back into the refrigerator for another 30-60 minutes.
- While the truffles are chilling for the second time, prepare your white chocolate or candy melts. Place your chosen coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the chilled truffle balls from the refrigerator. One at a time, drop a truffle ball into the melted white chocolate. Use a fork or a candy dipping tool to roll the truffle around, ensuring it's fully coated. Lift the truffle out, tapping the fork gently against the side of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Once all your truffle balls are dipped and decorated, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm.

Keywords: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth mixture. Don't skip the chilling steps to make rolling easier and to help the chocolate set properly. Decorate while the chocolate is still wet for best results.
