FAQs
Why do my sausage balls turn out very dry?
If you have added too much of the Bisquick baking mix, your sausage balls will be dry. Add some milk to adjust the consistency.
Why do my sausage balls keep falling apart?
Fat is the most important ingredient that keeps your sausage balls stuck together. Your sausage balls will have this falling-apart nature if you have used low-fat sausage or packaged shredded cheddar cheese. You can add some milk to moisten.
Can I store the leftovers?
Yes, you can store the leftover baked sausage balls in the refrigerator or freezer safely in an airtight container. They will stay good for 3 days in the refrigerator and 3 months in the freezer.

For The Crust
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs, such as crumbled Oreo cookies (filling removed)
- 1/3 cup butter (melted)
Filling
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves (I used a raspberry pie filling)
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 (8 ounces) packages of cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 eggs
- 4 ounces white chocolate (chopped into chunks)
For The Garnish
- 2 ounces shaved white chocolate (optional)
- Fresh whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Place a large pan filled with about 1/2 inch of water in the oven while it is preheating to create a water bath.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the raspberry preserves with 1/4 cup of water. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes on high in your microwave. Mix until smooth. Remove the seeds from the raspberry preserves by straining them, and cool it on a plate.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs. Stir in 1/3 cup melted margarine. Place the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan that has been lined with parchment paper on the bottom and sides. Using the bottom of a drinking glass, press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan and up the sides about two-thirds of the way.
- Keep the cheesecake in the water bath by wrapping a large piece of foil around its bottom. Until the filling is ready, place the crust in the freezer.
- Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream with an electric mixer. Mix until smooth and creamy. Make sure you scrape the bowl's sides. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, and then add them to the cream cheese mixture. Just blend the egg mixture to incorporate it.
- Place 4 ounces of white chocolate chunks in the bottom of the crust after it has been removed from the freezer.
- Fill the crust with half of the cream cheese filling. Pour raspberry preserves over the entire filling. Swirl the raspberry into the cream cheese with a butter knife. Fill the crust with the remaining filling.
- Place the cheesecake in the water bath in the oven. At 475°F, bake the cheesecake for about 12 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours after it is cooled. Cover it with foil from the bottom.
- Add shaved white chocolate to the cheesecake's top before serving. Enjoy!
