With just a handful of ingredients and zero oven time, these cheesecake bites are ideal for holidays, parties, or whenever your sweet tooth kicks in. Pop them in the fridge for a cool and creamy bite, or serve at room temp for a melt-in-your-mouth moment.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use?

A simple graham cracker base gives these bites the structure they need without overpowering the creamy filling. You can use classic honey grahams, but for a richer taste, try cinnamon or even coconut-flavored graham crackers.

Ingredients for the Coconut Snowball Cheesecake Bites

Cream Cheese: This is the heart of the filling, offering the creamy, tangy cheesecake texture we crave.

Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds a luscious sweetness and helps bind the filling without baking.

Vanilla Extract: A dash of vanilla deepens the flavor and enhances the richness.

Lemon Juice: Just a splash to brighten up the tang of the cream cheese.

Graham Cracker Crumbs: These form the quick and tasty crust for each bite.

Butter: Melted and mixed with the crumbs to hold the crust together.

Shredded Sweetened Coconut: The outer snowball coating, giving each bite a pretty, snowy finish.


How To Make the Coconut Snowball Cheesecake Bites

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until completely smooth and combined.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust Base

In another bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3: Assemble the Bites

Spoon a small amount of the crust mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin cups, pressing it down firmly. Add the cheesecake mixture on top, smoothing the tops.

Step 4: Chill to Set

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to handle.

Step 5: Roll and Coat

Once firm, gently remove each cheesecake bite from its mold. Roll them between your hands into smooth balls, then roll in shredded coconut until fully coated.


How to Serve and Store These Cheesecake Bites

Serve these cold from the fridge for the best texture. They make elegant party desserts and bite-sized indulgences after dinner. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month. If frozen, let them thaw slightly before serving for a soft bite.
