About this Recipe

These Cheesecake Bites are so easy to make that there’s really only 3 steps: mix everything, refrigerate the cream cheese mixture, then roll it into balls. Any additional steps are based on your particular tastes, and if you love chocolate, then this is the type of mini cheesecake bite you’ll love the most. No-bake cheesecake bites are served chilled, but for an even crisper, frostier flavor, you can put them in the freezer and eat them straight from there. They will be firmer frozen, so be careful when you take a huge bite out of one.

How to Serve

  • Serve: These bites are best served chilled. You don’t want to leave them at room temperature for very long, or they’ll start getting mushy and fall apart.
  • Store: Set your bites on a sheet of parchment paper and refrigerate them. They’ll be good for up to 5 days before they go bad. A bit of a tip here, you can line a baking pan with parchment paper and put your leftovers on it. This way, you can slide the whole thing onto a fridge shelf and pull them out to munch on without them getting squished. If you are even more worried about them being squishy, you can use a cupcake or muffin pan.
  • Freeze: You can freeze leftovers for up to 6 months before you should throw them out. I would recommend eating them sooner rather than later for the best flavor.

Variations

  • Add-ins: Mash up some Oreos, brownie chunks, caramel, or even graham cracker crumbs, and roll your bites in for a bolder, richer flavor that you can customize to your own personal tastes.
  • Chocolate chips: If you aren’t a huge fan of semisweet chocolate, you can use dark chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips. You can even put your chips into a microwave-safe bowl, heat them, and dip the Chocolate Cheesecake Bites into the melted chocolate.

  8. These look so incredibly chocolatey! I often crave a piece of cheesecake after dinner but a whole slice is just too much! These would be ideal for those cravings! Not sure I could stop after one though! They look too good!
