Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare and freeze the cheesecake bites for up to 1 week.

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried?
Freeze-dried strawberries work best for a crunchy coating; fresh strawberries may make the coating soggy.

Can I make them smaller or larger?
Absolutely! Adjust the scoop size to make mini bites or larger dessert balls as desired.

Do they need to be frozen?
Freezing helps the cheesecake balls hold their shape and makes them easier to coat.
