Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Pecans or walnuts (chopped, optional)
- N/A Graham crackers, pretzels, or fruit (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and unsalted butter. Beat with a handheld or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.
Fold in 3/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for garnish.
Scoop the mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap, shaping it into a rough ball. Wrap the plastic tightly around the cheese ball and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once chilled and firm, remove the cheese ball from the plastic wrap. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips (and chopped nuts, if using) onto a plate, then roll the cheese ball to coat evenly.
Place the cheese ball on a serving platter and offer with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping.
