Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I make these cheesecake balls ahead of time?

Absolutely! They’re a terrific make-ahead dessert. They can then be stored, covered in chocolate, in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

2. Can I freeze them?

Yes, cheesecake balls are freezer-friendly! (To freeze, place between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container.) When you want to eat, just thaw in the fridge for 2-3 hours before serving.

3. Can I use other berries?

Definitely! If you prefer strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries instead of raspberries, you can use those as well. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture will vary a bit from fruit to fruit.

4. I don’t have graham crackers. Can I use something else?

If graham crackers aren’t available, digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers do just fine as replacements. Just be sure to crush them into little crumbs.

5. Can I use dark or milk chocolate in place of white chocolate?

Of course! If you don’t want it as sweet, try using milk or dark chocolate, which would also be great in this recipe.

6. Is this gluten-free cheesecake balls?

They can be! All you need to do is substitute the graham crackers for gluten-free graham crackers or biscuits.

7. Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! Replace the cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese substitute, use plant-based white chocolate and to make the cookie crumbs vegan (which they aren’t, in oreos) for a totally vegan version.
