NO BAKE CHEESECAKE TRUFFLES (3 WAYS)
That’s right, my friends. I turned one of my favorite desserts into NO BAKE Cheesecake Truffles, made three ways. You can roll them in graham cracker crumbs, dip them in chocolate, or fry them carnival style.
When you can’t commit to an entire cheesecake, these truffles are exactly what you need.
This weekend my husband and I will celebrate our 15th anniversary. I still can’t believe we’ve been married that long; it really seems like yesterday. And then I look at pictures of our wedding and I think OMG I was such a baby! Over the last 15 years we’ve been through a lot, both good and bad. We’ve moved states (to Arizona and back to California), lived in about 6 houses, had a baby, dealt with infertility, dealt with struggling times in our jobs, and watched each other get older. While life situations may have been difficult for us over time, we’ve always gotten through it all because we had each other. I swear it sounds corny, but I didn’t know what a “soul mate” was until our first date.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE TRUFFLE BASE:
TO MAKE GRAHAM COATED TRUFFLES:
TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED TRUFFLES:
TO MAKE DEEP FRIED TRUFFLES:

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE TRUFFLE BASE:
- 8 ounces cream cheese — I like using Challenge brand
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
TO MAKE GRAHAM COATED TRUFFLES:
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED TRUFFLES:
- 8 ounces Candiquik — Almond Bark, or other baking chocolate for dipping
TO MAKE DEEP FRIED TRUFFLES:
- 1 1/2 cups pancake mix — the kind you mix with water
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 4 cups vegetable oil — for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
- Make the truffle base: Beat cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer. Mix in the sugar, extract, and graham cracker crumbs.
- Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper. Scoop 1 tablespoon size balls of the cheesecake mixture onto the cookie sheet.
- If you’re making the graham coated truffles, continue without chilling. Freeze the cookie sheet of naked truffles for about 30 minutes if you’re making the chocolate covered truffles or fried truffles.
