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.
