Chocolate Cheesecake Bites Ingredients

Chocolate Cheesecake Bites raw ingredients that are labeled

You’ll need:

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box of chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces chocolate almond bark
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate sprinkles

Substitutions And Additions

CHOCOLATE: You can substitute milk chocolate, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for the chocolate almond bark in this mini chocolate covered cheesecake bites recipe. Simply melt in the microwave as you would melt the almond bark.

COATING: You can also roll these mini chocolate cheesecakes in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cake mix, graham cracker crumbs, melted milk or white chocolate, crushed Oreo cookies, or colorful sprinkles.

How to Make This Chocolate Cheesecake Bites Recipe

STEP ONE: Before adding the cake mix, it is important to heat treat the dry cake mix. Pour the dry cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Microwave the cake mix in two 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Allow the cake mix to cool completely before mixing into the cream cheese.

STEP TWO: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 2 to 2½ minutes until completely smooth.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Be sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure you have no lumps in the cheesecake bites.

STEP THREE: Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top of the cream cheese. Continue to mix just until the dry cake mix is well incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Tightly cover the cream cheese mixture and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

STEP FIVE: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.

STEP SIX: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cheesecake dough. Roll into a ball and set the cheesecake bites onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the steps.

PRO TIP:

You can allow the uncoated cheesecake balls to sit overnight in the refrigerator before coating with the melted chocolate. The cake mix will expand, and the coating may crack if you coat the bites too soon.

STEP SEVEN: Using a heat-safe medium bowl, heat the almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals until the almond bark is completely melted.

STEP EIGHT: Roll the cheesecake bites in the melted almond bark. Place the coated cheesecake bites on a fork and gently tap any excess chocolate coating off. You can also use a spoon to pour the chocolate over any bare spots on the cheesecake bites.

PRO TIP:

Use a toothpick to remove the excess melted chocolate from the bottom of the fork and then to gently push the ball onto the prepared baking sheet.

STEP NINE: Return the coated cheesecake bites to the lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with the chocolate sprinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are good options for coating mini cheesecake bites?

Powdered sugar, crushed graham crackers, sprinkles, nuts, and melted chocolate are all great options for coating your no bake chocolate cheesecake bites.

Should these be served cold or at room temperature?

These mini cheesecakes should always be served chilled, so keep them in the fridge until you are about ready to serve them.

Can I use a different cake mix flavor?

You could customize these no-bake cheesecake bites dipped in chocolate in so many ways. What about brownie mix or vanilla cake and then coated with fine crumbs of Oreo cookies?

Why do I have to microwave the cake mix?

Since the cake mix has uncooked flour in it that may have pathogens in it, it makes it not safe to consume raw. Heating it in the microwave will kill any pathogens and make it safe to use in this no-bake recipe.
