Why You Need This Recipe
No need to turn on your oven these beauties come together so easily. They look absolutely stunning with that white chocolate coating and pretty raspberry accents. Make them your own by adding different toppings like nuts sprinkles or extra chocolate drizzle.
What You Need
Start with good cream cheese it's the heart of that creamy filling. Fresh raspberries give these balls their amazing fruity flavor while quality white chocolate creates the perfect coating. Some powdered sugar sweetens everything just right and vanilla extract brings all those flavors together.
Let's Make Them
Beat your cream cheese powdered sugar and vanilla until it's super smooth then gently fold in those mashed raspberries. Roll the mixture into cute little balls and pop them in the freezer for an hour. Once they're nice and firm dip them in melted white chocolate making sure they're completely covered. Add some crushed freeze dried raspberries or extra chocolate drizzle on top then let them set in the fridge.
My Best Tips
Always use full fat cream cheese and good quality white chocolate they make such a difference. Keep everything cold while you work it makes dipping so much easier. Have fun with toppings try freeze dried fruit edible glitter or crushed nuts. They'll keep in the fridge for about 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
