Creamy cheesecake filling wrapped in buttery golden cookie crumbs with pops of real strawberry, these no-bake truffles are a bite-sized summer celebration. Quick to make and perfect for parties, they’re a nostalgic treat combining strawberry shortcake and cheesecake flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 20 Golden Oreos or vanilla sandwich cookies (about 220g)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 2-3 fresh strawberries, finely diced (for garnish)
  • Optional: Sprinkles or extra freeze-dried strawberry powder (for decorating)

Instructions

  1. Place Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture for coating.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes with a hand mixer).
  3. Add vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and the remaining cookie-strawberry crumb mixture. Mix until well combined and evenly pink.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the filling and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill truffles in the freezer for 30-45 minutes until firm.
  6. Mix reserved 1/2 cup cookie-strawberry crumbs with melted butter in a small bowl until it resembles wet sand.
  7. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil if needed to thin.
  8. Dip each chilled truffle into melted white chocolate using a fork, let excess drip off, then roll immediately in the buttery crumb coating. Return to tray.
  9. Decorate with extra freeze-dried strawberries, sprinkles, or diced fresh strawberry if desired.
  10. Refrigerate finished truffles for at least 30 minutes until coating is set.
  11. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.

Notes

Chill the filling well before rolling and dipping for best results. If the mixture is sticky, chill longer. Use gluten-free cookies for a gluten-free version. Dairy-free cream cheese and white chocolate can be substituted for vegan/dairy-free diets. Work in batches to keep truffles firm while dipping. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
