Cheesecake truffles recipe is an easy and interesting dessert idea of baked cheesecake dipped in a chocolate coating.

I love cheesecake and this mango cheesecake recipe is probably my favourite dessert to make for friends and guests. I love adding a twist to the traditional cheesecake recipes and making variations and this blueberry cheesecake ice-cream is a good result of that sort of thinking.

I also love my baked goodies but I want them quick and I want them good. So that explains why I made these delicious truffles which are basically cheesecake bites coated in chocolate. Doesn’t get more delicious than that! If you like the combination of chocolate and cheesecake, you may also like this Oreo cheesecake recipe that’s no-bake and eggless.

These is not a cheesecake in the conventional sense, of course, but still make a great quick dessert to make for a small group of friends or a party. You can make these truffles ahead of time and bring them out just before serving so they soften up perfectly and are delicious.

The recipe is from one of my favourite baking books – A Passion for Baking by Marcy Goldman!

Servings 15 pieces

Ingredients
  

For Cheesecake Batter:

  • 250 grams cream cheese about half a pound, softened at room temp
  • 1/2 cup sugar or a little less
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream or normal cream
  • Small pinch of salt

For Dipping Chocolate:

  • 8 ounces of semi sweet or milk chocolate melted

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F / 180C. Line a brownie pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk together all the ingredients for the cheesecake. Isn’t that gorgeously simple?!
  • Bake for about 35-40 mins until the cheesecake is spongy but doesn't dry and curl in from the sides.
  • Cool completely and don’t poke it with your fingers like I did.
  • Using small cookie cutters or ice cream scoop, cut out small pieces of the cheesecake.
  • Oh by the way, don’t forget to melt the chocolate and set aside to cool.
  • Dip the cheesecake pieces into the melted and cooled chocolate and transfer to a plate lined with parchment paper or a baking sheet (so that it doesn’t stick to the plate). You can also try using a greased plate for this in case you don’t have parchment paper.
  • Don’t worry if it doesn’t look that glam because the chocolate is dripping around the cheesecake pieces. Trust me and stick the plate into your freezer for about 2 hours.
  • Serve chilled and brought out about 10 minutes before, from the freezer.

Notes

You can dress these cheesecake truffles up by drizzling some melted white chocolate over them, like you can probably see in the book. I didn’t have any white chocolate handy.
Melted chocolate chips won’t work in this recipe. So to make the dipping chocolate for the cheesecake truffles, use chocolate bars.

Need I say again that this is the most easy and quick cheesecake recipe I have seen? Once the cheesecake was done, it tasted so good as is (yes of course I tried it) so I am thinking of using the same cheesecake recipe to bake up a proper cheesecake and add some berry coulis on top. Will let you know how that comes out, ok? Meanwhile, do yourself a favour and go bake this! Your family and guests will be wowed, guaranteed!

    Hi there, Nags! I’ve already made the truffles, and they’re wonderful ! I’m just wondering if I can add peanut butter to this recipe to make them chocolate & peanut butter flavoured truffles? Do you have any suggested amount of peanut butter to be incorporated to the cheesecake mixture? Thanks in advance! ????

    I am planning to make the recipe this week. Can it be set in the freezer overnight or is there time restriction of 2 hours to it?

    Thanks

      I am not sure really. You need a setting agent so china grass dissolved in water may work but the texture will be different. Try at your own risk 🙂
