Description
Lemon Cheesecake Bites are a sweet and easy dessert that combines the flavors of lemon and cream cheese in bite-sized treats, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 15.25 ounces lemon cake mix, I used Betty Crocker Super Moist brand
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 12 ounces yellow candy melts
- 4 ounces white vanilla almond bark
Instructions
- Before adding the cake mix, heat treat the dry cake mix by microwaving it in two 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Allow to cool completely.
- Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 2 to 2½ minutes until completely smooth.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top of the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated.
- Tightly cover the cream cheese mixture and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cheesecake dough, roll into a ball, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat.
- In a heat-safe mixing bowl, heat the candy wafer melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted.
- Roll the cheesecake bites in the melted candy wafers. Use a fork to tap off excess coating and a toothpick to push the ball onto the baking sheet.
- Return the coated cheesecake bites to the baking sheet.
- In a small heat-safe mixing bowl, microwave the white almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring well.
- Drizzle the melted almond bark over the coated cheesecake bites.
- Once all bites are coated and drizzled, return them to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Be sure to completely cool the heat-treated cake mix before mixing it with the cream cheese.
- Chilling the cream cheese mixture is essential for easy handling when rolling into balls.
