Follow along with our step-by-step photos, easy instructions, and helpful tips and tricks listed below. We’ll guide you through every part so your lemon blueberry cheesecake bites turn out perfect. Let’s get started!

FIRST STEP: Place cake mix in a heat-proof bowl and microwave in two 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, to heat treat the cake mix and make it safe to eat without cooking. Cool.

SECOND STEP: With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy.

THIRD STEP: Sprinkle the cake mix over the cream cheese and beat until combined.

FOURTH STEP: Sprinkle the dried blueberries over the cake mix and cream cheese mixture and fold together or beat quickly until the blueberries are spread throughout the mixture.

FIFTH STEP: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. This will help thicken the mixture to make it easier to roll into balls and allow time for the mixture to expand.

SIXTH STEP: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop balls of the lemon blueberry mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Use your hands to roll them into smooth balls.

SEVENTH STEP: Place the baking sheet with the cake mix balls into the refrigerator to harden. 

EIGHTH STEP: Using a heat-safe medium-sized mixing bowl, heat the candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted.

NINTH STEP: Roll the cheesecake bites in the melted candy wafers. Place the coated cheesecake bites on a fork and gently tap any excess coating off.

TENTH STEP: Return the coated cheesecake bites to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow candy melt coating to set (this takes 5 to 10 minutes).

ELEVENTH STEP: Using a small heat-safe mixing bowl, microwave the white almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval.

TWELFTH STEP: Use a spoon to drizzle the white coating over each lemon blueberry cheesecake bite.

You can also fill a small plastic baggie with the melted candy, snip off the corner, and use that to squeeze an even drizzle back and forth over the cheesecake bites.

THIRTEENTH STEP: Serve as soon as the drizzle has set.
