CAKE MIX: If you don’t have Funfetti cake mix on hand, you can easily customize the flavor by using a different cake mix variety.

Try chocolate cake mix for a rich and decadent twist or strawberry cake mix for a fruity burst of flavor.

Just keep in mind that your choice will alter the overall taste and color of the cheesecake bites.

SPRINKLES: You can use any color of sprinkles that you would like to match a holiday or party theme like Christmas time or a kid’s favorite sports team for their birthday party. These would be so cute for Valentine’s Day with red and pink mini heart sprinkles!

COATING: You can also roll these little cheesecake bites 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 No Bake Cheesecake Bites Recipe

The first step in making these little treats is mixing up the filling. Once it is scooped into balls, we’ll show you how to coat them.

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 microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave the cake mix in two 30-second increments, stirring after each increment. Allow the cake mix to cool completely before mixing into the cream cheese.

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

Make sure you are using room-temperature cream cheese so that you don’t end up with lumps in your mini 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 two hours.

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

STEP SIX: Using a small cookie scoop (one tablespoon size), scoop the cheesecake mixture. Roll into a smooth ball and set the cheesecake bites on the prepared baking sheet.

Repeat the steps for the rest of the cheesecake truffles. Be sure to scrap the sides of the bowl!

PRO TIP:

You can allow the uncoated cheesecake bites to sit overnight in the refrigerator before the next step. The cake mix will expand, and the almond bark 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 and smooth.

PRO TIP:

If you would prefer to use white or milk chocolate to coat the bites, you can melt them the same way in the microwave in place of the almond bark.

STEP EIGHT: Roll the cheesecake bites in the melted almond bark. Place the coated cheesecake bites on the fork and gently tap any excess coating off.

You can also use the spoon to pour the almond bark over any bare spots on the cheesecake bites.

STEP NINE: Return the coated cheesecake bites to the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle a half to one teaspoon of the colorful sprinkles (or other toppings) on top.

STEP TEN: Once all the cheesecake bites are completely coated and sprinkled, return them to the refrigerator until ready to serve.

How To Serve Cheesecake Truffles

Serve your no-bake cheesecake balls for friends at a party, or keep them all to yourself.

Add a couple of little cheesecakes on top of a bowl of ice cream or in our cookie cups and topped with whipped cream or Cool Whip.

This would be such a cute treat for a kid’s birthday party.

Troubleshooting Tips When Making No Bake Truffles

Avoiding Grittiness: Make sure to heat treat the Funfetti cake mix thoroughly. This step not only makes it safe to eat but also helps eliminate any gritty texture that can come from uncooked flour.

Cream Cheese Consistency: Soften the cream cheese fully before mixing. Cold or partially softened cream cheese can result in lumps, making it harder to achieve a smooth filling. Room temperature cream cheese will blend easily, creating a creamy texture.

Chilling is Key: Don’t skip the chilling step. Giving the mixture at least two hours in the fridge firms up the truffles, making them easier to roll and dip without falling apart.

Melting Almond Bark Smoothly: Melt the almond bark in short 30-second intervals, stirring after each, to prevent scorching. Overheating can make the coating lumpy and difficult to dip.

Preventing Messy Dipping: Use a fork to dip each truffle into the melted almond bark, and gently tap off any excess coating. This helps avoid thick clumps of coating and keeps the truffles looking polished.

Storing Properly: To maintain texture, keep the truffles in the refrigerator in an airtight container. This prevents condensation and keeps the almond bark coating from softening.
