🍰 7-Step Directions
-
Make the cookie crust base:
In a bowl, mix 1½ cups crushed golden sandwich cookies with the melted butter until evenly moistened. Press into a firm crumb mixture and set aside. -
Beat the cream cheese:
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining. -
Add sweetness and flavor:
Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined. Fold in the whipped topping gently to keep the mixture light and fluffy. -
Form the cheesecake bites:
Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon) of the cheesecake mixture and roll into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. -
Chill the bites:
Refrigerate or freeze the cheesecake balls for 20–30 minutes until firm enough to handle without losing shape. -
Prepare the strawberry crunch coating:
Mix the extra crushed cookies with strawberry Jell-O powder and melted butter until coated and crumbly. -
Coat the cheesecake bites:
Roll each chilled cheesecake ball in the strawberry crunch mixture until fully covered. Drizzle with white chocolate if desired and chill again until ready to serve.
