Introduction

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bites are a delightful, bite-sized treat combining tangy lemon with sweet blueberries wrapped in creamy cheesecake. These no-bake snacks are perfect for parties or a quick indulgence. Easy to make and beautifully coated in candy melts, they’re as fun to make as they are to eat.

The image shows several small round treats lined up on a white rectangular plate placed on a white marbled surface. Each treat has three visible layers: the outer layer is a smooth, bright yellow coating with a glossy texture and decorated with thin white stripes drizzled across the top. Inside, the second layer is a crumbly yellow cake filled with pieces of dark blueberries and some bits of nuts or raisins scattered throughout. In the foreground, two fresh blueberries are placed on the marbled surface in front of the plate, adding a pop of dark blue color. The overall look is neat and bright with a close-up focus on the front cut treat, showing its inside details. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 package lemon cake mix (15.25 oz)
8 oz cream cheese, softened

3.5 oz package dried blueberries
12 oz yellow candy melts

4 oz white almond bark

Instructions

Step 1: Place the cake mix in a heat-proof bowl and microwave in two 30-second increments, stirring between each, to heat treat the cake mix for safe consumption without baking. Allow it to cool.

Step 2: Beat the softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl until fluffy.
Step 3: Gradually add the cooled cake mix to the cream cheese, continuing to beat with a hand mixer until fully combined.
Step 4: Fold the dried blueberries into the cheesecake mixture gently with a spatula or beat quickly to incorporate.

Step 5: Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to thicken and allow it to expand slightly.
Step 6: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out balls of the lemon blueberry mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll each scoop into a smooth ball by hand.
Step 7: Chill the rolled balls in the refrigerator until firm.

Step 8: In a heat-safe bowl, melt the yellow candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted.
Step 9: Dip each cheesecake bite into the melted candy, using a fork to remove excess coating. Place them back on the parchment-lined sheet to set for 5–10 minutes.
Step 10: Melt the white almond bark using the same method of 30-second microwaving intervals and stirring.

Step 11: Drizzle the melted almond bark over the coated cheesecake bites with a spoon or a small baggie with a snipped corner for a decorative touch.
Step 12: Allow the drizzle to set before serving. Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bites fresh.

Tips & Variations

For extra freshness, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cheesecake mixture before chilling.

Substitute dried blueberries with fresh blueberries if preferred, but reduce liquid ingredients elsewhere to maintain consistency.
Use colored candy melts to customize for different occasions or themes.
If you don’t have a cookie scoop, use a tablespoon measure or spoon to portion the mixture evenly.

Storage

Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month and thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Reheating is not recommended as it may melt the candy coating.

How to Serve

The image shows many round yellow balls with a smooth glossy outer layer that looks like yellow chocolate coating. Each ball is decorated with thin white diagonal lines of chocolate drizzled over the top. One ball is cut in half, showing three layers inside: the outer yellow chocolate layer, a thick light yellow cake-like middle layer with dark dried fruit pieces embedded, and a soft textured interior. These balls are placed closely together on a white plate with a white marbled background beneath. The lighting is bright, enhancing the shiny coating and soft texture inside the dessert. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these bites ahead of time?

Yes, these cheesecake bites can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld and the coating to set perfectly.

What can I use if I can’t find almond bark?

White chocolate chips or white candy melts can be melted and used as a substitute for almond bark to create the drizzle.
