Prep time: 20 mins | Chill time: 2 hours | Yields: 15-18 treats

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225g) brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature

• ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

• ¼ cup white chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled (helps them hold their shape!)

For the Red Velvet Coating:

• 2 cups prepared red velvet cake crumbs (you can use leftover cake or bake a quick boxed mix ahead of time)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Whip the Creamy Center

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until completely smooth and fluffy. Drizzle in the melted white chocolate and mix until just combined.

2. Chill to Set

Pop the mixture into the fridge for about 30 to 45 minutes. This makes the filling firm enough to handle and roll without making a total mess.

3. Scoop and Shape

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, portion out the cream cheese mixture and gently roll them into smooth, spherical balls with your hands.

4. The Red Velvet Roll

Place your finely textured red velvet cake crumbs into a shallow bowl. Drop each cheesecake ball into the crumbs, rolling them around until they are completely blanketed in a vibrant, deep-red coat. Press gently so the crumbs adhere well.

5. Final Chill & Serve

Place your finished Red Velvet Cheesecake Treats back onto the baking sheet and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to become perfectly dense and fudgy.

Pro-Tips for Perfect Treats:

• Keep it Clean: If the cream cheese starts sticking to your hands while rolling, lightly dust your palms with powdered sugar or dampen them with a tiny bit of water.

• Storage: Keep these stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days—if they even last that long!
