Key Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups vanilla sandwich cookie crumbs (about 22 cookies)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 12 oz white chocolate melts or vanilla almond bark

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar until a stiff dough forms.
  3. Gently fold the finely chopped strawberries into the mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed.
  4. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll between your palms to form uniform balls.
  5. Place the truffle balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
  6. While the truffles chill, melt the white chocolate or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
  7. Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, tap off the excess, and return to the parchment paper.
  8. If desired, decorate with extra strawberry crumbs or a drizzle of tinted chocolate while the coating is still wet.
  9. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate shell to set completely before serving.
