If you are wanting to wow your guests, these White Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Truffles are a Christmas staple that would make your table stand out! Perfect for sharing and giving your taste buds the gift of yummy goodness.
They could also be perfect for Frozen birthday party or Easter time, I just wanted blue because I went with silver and blue theme tree this year. The first time I decided to do a total theme tree. I had boxes and boxes of Christmas ornaments and things on display I used every year, but my kids are grown so I decided to pass them down and start fresh. We recently remodeled our living and dinning rooms so everything is much more open to fit all the growing family.
If you think your house is full when your kids are little, wait until they grow up, marry, and bring more and more kids, then those kids bring girlfriends and boyfriends. All of the sudden, everyone can’t fit at that big dinning room table anymore.
So I decided to scale down the huge tree to a skinny tree; it’s so cute, I love it. I thought I might miss the little hand made things the kids made when they were little that hung on tree, because I saved everything! At least now we have room for a second folding table to bring out so we can all have dinner together.
Ok, back to these no-bake White Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Truffles. This recipe is so easy to make, they just need to chill so you can roll them into balls and dipping in the vanilla almond bark goes quick. if you have a helper to do the sprinkles before the white chocolate sets up they stick better. I found myself having to add a little more white chocolate on some of them because it sets up quicker than I thought, so it might be better to dip and sprinkle right away than to dip all of them first. I should have remembered that because I made these Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Balls last year with sprinkles, but we did them together so plan your strategy ahead, or add an extra drizzle either way works.
So I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years and everyone’s holiday be blessed!
Some tips:
- Turn these into White Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Champagne Truffles by soaking the cherries in a cup of champagne for a special occasion like New Years Eve!
- Swap out the cherries for strawberries or raspberries using the same method.
- I found the blue sprinkles at Joann, but Wilton has similar ones on Amazon.

White Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Truffles
If you are wanting to wow your guests, these White Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Truffles are a Christmas staple that would make your table stand out! Perfect for sharing and giving your taste buds the gift of yummy goodness.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (set out an hour ahead to get soft)
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 9 sheets)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons cherries (I used maraschino, chopped/diced & pat with paper towel)
- 10 ounces vanilla almond bark or white chocolate chips
- sprinkles, sanding sugar & silver dragées (optional)
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer, in a medium bowl mix cream cheese until smooth, adding powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and graham cracker crumbs until combined. Fold in cherries and chill a couple hours to overnight.
- When ready to roll line a sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray or a silicone mat and use either a cookie scoop or teaspoon to make even 1 1/2" balls (makes 2 dozen). Place back in fridge until chilled and firm, about 30 minutes.
- Melt bark or white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave safe dish, stirring every 15-30 seconds until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Dip each truffle using a spiral dipping tool or fork and tap a little for excess to run back into the bowl. Place back on sheet pan, adding sprinkles before it sets up or drizzle a little melted white chocolate over the top again if you don't have a helper, it sets up pretty quick. Refrigerate truffles to harden.
