Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bites Ingredients

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bites raw ingredients that are labeled

You’ll need:

1 (15.25-ounce) package of lemon cake mix
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
3.5-ounce package of dried blueberries
12 ounces of yellow candy melts
4 ounces of white almond bark

Substitutions And Additions

ALMOND BARK: White candy melts can be substituted for the almond bark in this great recipe if desired.

How To Make This Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bites Recipe

STEP ONE: Place cake mix in a heat-proof bowl and microwave in two 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, to heat treat the cake mix and make it safe to eat without cooking. Cool.

STEP TWO: With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, so you don’t end up with any lumps in your cheesecake mixture.

STEP THREE: Sprinkle the cake mix over the cream cheese and beat until combined.

STEP FOUR: Sprinkle the dried blueberries over the cake mix and cream cheese mixture and fold together or beat quickly until the blueberries are spread throughout the mixture.

STEP FIVE: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. This will help thicken the mixture to make it easier to roll into balls and allow time for the mixture to expand.

PRO TIP:

The cake mix mixture tends to expand when the moisture from the cream cheese is mixed with it. If the cheesecake bites are rolled and coated immediately, the inner mixture can expand and crack the coating.

The longer you can leave the mixture or the formed balls to chill before coating them, the less likely cracking will occur.

If there is a crack, you can also just drizzle some more melted candy melts over the crack and seal it back up!

STEP SIX: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop balls of the lemon blueberry mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Use your hands to roll them into smooth balls.

STEP SEVEN: Place the baking sheet with the cake mix balls into the refrigerator to harden.

STEP EIGHT: Using a heat-safe medium-sized mixing bowl, heat the candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted.

PRO TIP:

Be careful that absolutely no water comes into contact with the candy melts.

Water will cause the candy melts to seize up, and they will no longer be usable.

STEP NINE: Roll the cheesecake bites in the melted candy wafers. Place the coated cheesecake bites on a fork and gently tap any excess coating off.

STEP TEN: Return the coated cheesecake bites to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow candy melt coating to set (this takes 5 to 10 minutes).

PRO TIP:

Parchment paper makes easy work when dipping the balls in candy melts. Once the candy melts harden, they peel right off the parchment.

STEP ELEVEN: Using a small heat-safe mixing bowl, microwave the white almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval.

STEP TWELVE: Use a spoon to drizzle the white coating over each lemon blueberry cheesecake bite.

You can also fill a small plastic baggie with the melted candy, snip off the corner, and use that to squeeze an even drizzle back and forth over the cheesecake bites.

STEP THIRTEEN: Serve as soon as the drizzle has set.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do I have to microwave the cake mix?

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 cheesecake bites.

Should these lemon blueberry cream cheese balls be served cold or at room temperature?

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