How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Square Bites Dipped in White Chocolate

Ingredients:

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup strawberry puree or strawberry jam
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups white chocolate chips or white candy melts
1 tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil
Crushed freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
For the crust, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press the mixture into the pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
For the cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in sour cream, vanilla, and strawberry puree. Pour this filling over the baked crust and bake for 35-40 minutes.
Let the cheesecake cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Once chilled, cut the cheesecake into squares and freeze for 30 minutes.
Melt white chocolate with oil. Dip each square in the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and place them back on a baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still soft, you can add crushed freeze-dried strawberries or sprinkles for decoration.
Chill to set for 10-15 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
