8 hrsThese little fudge balls are what you make when you need a homemade gift or party dessert but don’t want to turn on the oven.
Cream cheese makes them incredibly creamy, while the vanilla wafer crumbs add body and a subtle cookie flavor.
The raspberry preserves are the surprise ingredient that keeps people guessing what makes these taste so good.
Pro Tips
- Chill the mixture overnight for easiest shaping (warm fudge is sticky and impossible to roll)
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion uniform balls that look professional
- Roll some in almonds, some in cocoa, some in powdered sugar for a pretty variety platter
- Store in the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for best texture
