  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • 13.25 ounces box strawberry cake mix (dry mix)

Coating & Decoration

  • 12 ounces almond bark or pink melting wafers
  • White chocolate, melted (optional, for drizzling)
  • Valentine’s Day festive sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the fine sea salt and clear vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
  2. Incorporate the Cake Mix: Gradually add the dry strawberry cake mix to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating. The batter will start out crumbly but will eventually come together into a smooth, thick dough.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cheesecake dough for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to firm up and make it easier to handle.
  4. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for assembling the bites.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the almond bark or pink melting wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate evenly without burning.
  6. Form and Dip Bites: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, form balls from the chilled cheesecake dough. Using a toothpick or fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, gently tapping to remove excess coating. Place the coated bites onto the prepared parchment paper.
  7. Add Sprinkles: While the chocolate coating is still tacky, sprinkle Valentine’s Day festive sprinkles on top, if desired. Repeat the dipping and decorating process with the remaining dough balls.
  8. Set the Coating: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature. For quicker setting, chill the bites in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Optionally, drizzle with melted white chocolate for an extra decorative touch once the coating is firm.
  9. Store the Bites: Keep the finished cheesecake bites in an airtight container refrigerated until ready to serve. Store leftovers chilled to maintain freshness and texture.
  10. Share Your Experience: If you try this recipe, consider returning to leave a comment or star rating to share your feedback.

Notes

  • The cholesterol content mainly comes from the cream cheese and chocolate coating.
  • If you want to customize flavors, you can swap the strawberry cake mix for other cake flavors.
  • Use a toothpick or fork for dipping to avoid finger contact with melted chocolate and ensure even coating.
  • These bites should be kept refrigerated to maintain their shape and freshness.
  • For a festive presentation, use colored sprinkles matching the occasion.
