Strawberry Cheesecake Bites No Bake

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, pulverized into powder
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 3 tbsp strawberry jam or puree (for center drizzle)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

2. 2

   Gently fold in 1/4 cup of the powdered freeze-dried strawberries until a pretty pink swirl forms. Cover and chill in freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.

3. 3

   In a shallow dish, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and remaining freeze-dried strawberry powder.

4. 4

   Using a small 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the cream cheese mixture and roll between clean hands into smooth balls.

5. 5

   Roll each ball generously in the graham cracker crumb mixture until fully coated. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. 6

   Make a tiny indentation on top of each bite with your thumb and add a small drop of strawberry jam. Chill in fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
