What You Need

Here’s the secret to making your Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles absolutely crave-worthy! You want ingredients that bring out the fresh tang of raspberry and creamy cheesecake goodness with a smooth chocolate finish. Splurge on full-fat cream cheese for that perfect velvety texture. Grab fresh or frozen raspberries from the produce aisle—or in the winter, the frozen ones work like a charm and won’t mess with the flavor.

Ingredients for Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles with cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh raspberries, vanilla extract, chocolate melts, and graham cracker crumbs
  • Cream cheese, 8 oz (room temp – trust me, it mixes smoother!)
  • Powdered sugar, 2 cups (I go heavy on this for that sweet cheesecake classic)
  • Fresh raspberries, 1 cup (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon (this little touch makes Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles sing)
  • White and dark chocolate melts, 6 oz each (for dipping and drizzling)
  • Crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs, ½ cup (super easy flavor upgrade)

Here’s a pro tip: Add a splash of lemon juice for a subtle brightness that lifts these Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles even higher. You can find good-quality chocolate melts in the baking aisle or international section. Feeling fancy? Try using Belgian chocolate for a more luxurious twist.

To save time, pick up pre-crushed graham crackers or pulse regular ones in a food processor. This no-bake cheesecake truffle recipe stays fresh up to a week refrigerated—store those raspberry cream cheese balls in an airtight container! Oh, and if you want to amp up the raspberry punch, toss in some freeze-dried raspberry powder with the powdered sugar. This Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles will totally steal the spotlight on any dessert table.

How to Make It

Get ready because this is where the magic happens with your Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles! This recipe comes together in about 45 minutes, no oven needed, and the smell while you’re mixing? Unreal.

  1. Start by beating the cream cheese in a bowl until it’s completely smooth and creamy—no lumps allowed! This base is where the cheesecake richness begins.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, whipping it well after each addition. Your mixture should look thick and luscious, perfect for making those raspberry cream cheese balls.
  3. Gently fold in the fresh or thawed raspberries, trying not to crush all of them. You want those bursts of raspberry to shine through in every bite.
  4. Chill the mixture for 30 minutes so it firms up enough to scoop.
  5. Scoop about a tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture and roll into smooth balls using your hands. Make sure they’re nice and round—that’s key for Instagram-worthy Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles.
  6. Place the balls on parchment paper-lined trays and freeze for 15-20 minutes before dipping.
  7. Melt your white and dark chocolate melts separately, stirring until glossy and smooth.
  8. Dip each raspberry cream cheese ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment, then optionally drizzle with the opposite chocolate for a fancy touch.
  9. Pop your finished Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles into the fridge to set for at least an hour.

Pro tip: Use a toothpick to dip and drizzle if you want a cleaner finish. Watch those raspberry dessert bites turn from fluffy cheesecake centers into irresistible chocolate raspberry truffles. The kitchen will smell like a little raspberry chocolate party is happening!

Trust me, these easy no-bake truffles are crowd-pleasers whether you’re whipping them up for a party or your own midnight snack.

Your Questions Answered

I’ve gotten tons of questions from fellow foodies about Raspberry Cheesecake Truffles, so I wanted to share some answers that’ll help your truffle game big time!
