Delicious and easy to make tropical-flavored cheesecake bites are a perfect snack for Super Bowl Parties or any time!

Make a bunch of these no-bake tropical cheesecake balls for Super Bowl snacking, but they’re perfect any time.

Cheesecake With Portion Control

Do you love cheesecake and don’t want to overdo it? These tropical fruit flavored cheesecake ball just might be the thing you’re looking for.

While I myself am not much into controlling my portions (mainly from being old, fat and plain lazy) I realize that lots of folks are. One or two of these delicious cheesecake balls are often enough to satisfy a craving without going overboard. Strangely enough, that works for me too and remember, I’m not into it!!!

Think Out Of The Box Fruitwise

All of the recipes I’ve seen out there (there are thousands) call for crushed pineapple. Of course, pineapple tastes great just like it does in my No-Bake Pineapple Cream Dessert, but I wanted to think out of the box here. However, to be completely honest here I didn’t have any crushed pineapple on hand and was too lazy to clean the food processor if I were going to process the chunks I did have 🙂

I did have several cans of tropical fruit salad on hand. Mainly, I like the stuff and my neighbor gave me a great recipe for chicken that uses it. My thinking was the tropical fruit salad would taste pretty good in these cheesecake balls. I wasn’t wrong–it’s delicious (even though I still had to clean the food processor).

Yummy Coconut Too

To top it all off, these yummy cheesecake balls are rolled in delicious coconut.

OK I know some folks aren’t as crazy about coconut as I am, so instead of coconut, roll them in some ground nuts! That’ll be just as yummy.

Since these balls tend to be a bit soft, refrigerate them very well before serving. One trick I use is to freeze them once they are solid enough.

    Great, healthly and easy to do cheesecake balls. Beacause they are frozen or cold the best to eat them in hot, sunny days.

    Frozen cheesecake. I have frozen a lot of cheesecake by the slice for an easy way to serve one or two pieces when needed. When I get that need for a piece of cheesecake I have been known to slide out a piece and eat it frozen. Better than ice cream! If these balls are frozen they don´t stand a chance. Thanks for sharing, B Karr
