→ Cheesecake Filling
03 -
2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
04 -
16 ounces softened cream cheese
05 -
4 tablespoons softened butter
06 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
07 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven to 350°F and either grease or line a couple of 8-inch cake pans.
02 -
Prepare the red velvet cake as per package instructions. Let it cool completely after baking.
03 -
When the cake has cooled, crumble it with your hands until the texture is crumbly like sand. If it's too damp, break it into smaller pieces, spread them over a lined sheet, and dry in the oven for 5-6 minutes at 350°F.
04 -
In a big bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together cream cheese, butter, and sugar until it’s soft and fluffy.
05 -
Stir the graham cracker crumbs into the cream cheese mix. Pour in the vanilla and mix well.
06 -
Using a small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons), scoop the cream cheese mix and form it into balls in your hands. Set them on a lined tray or plate, then place in the fridge for an hour to firm up.
07 -
Take the chilled cheesecake balls and gently roll them in the red velvet crumbs so they are covered all around. Reshape them if needed.
08 -
Serve right away or keep in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy.
