Instructions
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
- Chill the filling in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
2. Make the Crunch Coating
- In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, crushed cornflakes, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- The mixture should be crumbly and slightly moist from the melted butter. This will create the perfect crunchy texture once the cheesecake bites are coated.
3. Form the Cheesecake Bites
- Using a spoon or small scoop, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled cheesecake filling. Roll them into small balls.
- Carefully roll each cheesecake ball in the crunch coating mixture, making sure itβs evenly coated on all sides. Press lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
- Place each coated cheesecake bite onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
4. Chill & Set
- After all the cheesecake bites are formed and coated, refrigerate them for at least 2 hours (or overnight if possible) to set the shape and allow the flavors to meld.
- This will also help the coating firm up and create that delightful crunch when you bite into them.
5. Garnish & Serve
- Before serving, garnish each cheesecake bite with a slice of fresh strawberry on top or drizzle with strawberry sauce or jam for extra flavor.
- Serve these little bites chilled for a refreshing treat!
