  3. Prepare the Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until silky.

  5. Form Cheesecake Balls: Scoop small portions of the filling and roll into balls.
  6. Freeze the Cheesecake Balls: Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for about 15 minutes.
  7. Shape the Dough: Flatten a small piece of chilled red velvet dough.
  8. Wrap the Bites: Place a cheesecake ball in the center, wrap and seal the dough around it.
  9. Melt the Chocolate: Microwave white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  10. Optional Oil Addition: Stir in vegetable oil into the melted chocolate for glossy finish.
  11. Dip the Bites: Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
