Step-by-step
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth
- Then add in the white chips, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla. Blend until the ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the minced strawberries using a rubber spatula.
- Place wax paper on 2 9x13-inch cookie sheets.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of the filling on the wax paper.
- Place the balls of filling into the freezer, covered in plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour.
- After an hour (or more), melt the dark chocolate and oil in the microwave. Be sure to stir every 20-30 seconds.
- Pour ⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs into a bowl. Refill as needed.
- Line two 9x13-inch cookie sheets with wax paper.
- Remove the filling balls from the freezer one at a time and dip into the melted chocolate using a fork.
- Immediately put the chocolate-covered ball into the bowl with graham crumbs and cover in crumbs.
- Remove from the crumbs and place on the wax paper.
- Repeat for the remaining filling balls.
- Place the truffles in the freezer until the chocolate has set (about 1 hour).
- You can store in either the freezer or fridge. Let them warm to at least the temp of your refrigerator before serving. They are good frozen as well, but I recommend refrigerator temp.
