Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 15.25 ounces Funfetti cake mix
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Coating and Topping (Optional)

  • 8 ounces white almond bark
  • Colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat Treat Dry Cake Mix: Pour the dry Funfetti cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl and microwave in two 30-second intervals, stirring after each to heat treat the mix. Let it cool completely before combining with cream cheese to ensure food safety.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese: In a medium mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the softened cream cheese for 2 to 2½ minutes until smooth and creamy, providing a perfect base for the cheesecake bites.
  3. Incorporate Cake Mix: Gradually sprinkle the cooled dry cake mix over the beaten cream cheese and mix only until the cake mix is well incorporated, ensuring a uniform batter without overmixing.
  4. Chill Mixture: Cover the cream cheese and cake mix blend tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up the mixture, making it easier to scoop and shape.
  5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for placing the cheesecake bites.
  6. Form Cheesecake Bites: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the chilled cheesecake dough, roll each portion into a ball, and place on the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used.
  7. Melt Almond Bark: Place white almond bark in a heat-safe medium bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth, stirring in between.
  8. Coat Cheesecake Bites: Roll each cheesecake bite in the melted almond bark, then use a fork to lift and gently tap excess coating off. Use a spoon to cover any bare spots to ensure even coating.
  9. Add Sprinkles: Place the coated cheesecake bites back on the parchment-lined sheet and sprinkle ½ to 1 teaspoon of colorful sprinkles atop each bite for decoration and added sweetness.
  10. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the coated and decorated cheesecake bites until firm and ready to serve, maintaining the no-bake integrity of this easy dessert.

Notes

  • Heat treating the dry cake mix before adding it to the cream cheese is essential to eliminate any raw flour bacteria.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and almond bark with vegan alternatives.
  • If you prefer no coating, simply skip the almond bark and sprinkles for a simpler cheesecake bite.
  • Store cheesecake bites in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
  • These bites can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
