Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (for mixing)
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (for coating)
- optional Graham crackers, pretzels, or strawberries (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Fold in the 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter. Scoop the chocolate mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap and shape it into a roughly rounded mound.
Wrap the plastic tightly around the mixture, using your hands to form it into a smooth ball. Chill the cheese ball in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to hold its shape.
Once chilled, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips onto a large plate or shallow dish.
Unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the chocolate chips, pressing slightly to make sure the chips stick evenly to the outside.
Transfer the coated cheese ball to a serving plate and pair with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easy dipping.
