02 - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
03 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
05 - 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
06 - 1 cup whipped topping or whipped heavy cream

08 - 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Optional Drizzle

10 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
11 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
02 - Fold in finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries and graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
03 - Gently fold in whipped topping or whipped heavy cream to achieve a light, fluffy consistency.
04 - Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Place the cheesecake balls in the freezer for at least 30 to 45 minutes, or until firm.
06 - In a food processor, pulse the golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and blend until slightly sticky.
07 - Transfer the coating mixture to a shallow bowl. Roll the frozen cheesecake balls in the crunch coating, pressing lightly for even coverage.
08 - Return the coated bites to the parchment-lined sheet and freeze for another 15 minutes to secure the coating.
09 - Combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle over the set cheesecake bites before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing consistency.
02 - For clean and round bites, use lightly greased hands or a scoop.
