Description

Delight in these Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake Bites, a luscious no-bake treat combining creamy cheesecake swirled with fresh strawberries and strawberry jam, topped with Oreo cookies, and finished with a smooth chocolate magic shell. Perfect for a refreshing dessert that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 6 oz strawberries, chopped into small pieces
  • 3 oz strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup heavy cream (35% fat)
  • 8 oz cream cheese block, softened
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice

Toppings

  • 12 Oreo cookies, separated into halves

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 recipe for Chocolate Magic Shell (prepared and cooled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberry Mixture: Combine the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam in a bowl; set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Whip Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream, add vanilla extract, and whip with a hand held beater until soft peaks form.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese together with lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Then fold the whipped cream gently into this mixture until fully combined.
  4. Fold in Strawberry Mixture: Carefully fold the strawberry and jam mixture into the cheesecake base, leaving visible ripples without fully incorporating, for a marbled effect.
  5. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners if desired for easier removal, though it’s optional.
  6. Scoop Cheesecake: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, fill each muffin cavity with the cheesecake mixture and smooth the tops evenly.
  7. Add Oreo Toppings: Top each cheesecake portion with an Oreo cookie half (or whole if preferred), then cover the pan with foil or parchment paper. Freeze for several hours until completely hardened.
  8. Unmold Cheesecake Bites: Once frozen solid, remove bites from muffin tin. If liners were used, peel them off carefully. If not, dip the tin briefly in warm water or use a blow torch to loosen edges and gently pop bites out with a spatula.
  9. Freeze Until Ready: Place the cheesecake bites back in the freezer while preparing the chocolate magic shell coating.
  10. Dip in Chocolate Magic Shell: When the magic shell sauce is cool but fluid, use a fork to dip each cheesecake bite, coating thoroughly. Place them on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set. To speed this, freeze again.
  11. Store and Serve: Once the chocolate shell has hardened, store the cheesecake bites individually in Ziploc bags until ready to serve. Allow them to soften slightly before eating for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Mini cupcake liners help with easy removal but are optional.
  • Use a hand held beater or stand mixer to achieve perfect whipped cream peaks.
  • Fold strawberry mixture gently to maintain swirled ripples for visual appeal.
  • Freezing times depend on your freezer; ensure bites are thoroughly frozen before dipping or unmolding.
  • The chocolate magic shell should be cool but still smooth enough to dip for an even coating.
  • Allow frozen bites to soften a bit before eating to enhance flavor and creaminess.
