Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or additional mini chocolate chips (for coating, optional)
- optional graham crackers, cookies, or pretzels (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Beat them together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue to mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Transfer the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap and shape it into a rough ball.
Wrap the mixture tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to hold its shape.
Once firm, remove the cheeseball from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Roll it in chopped pecans or additional mini chocolate chips (if using) to coat the outside evenly.
Place the cheeseball on a serving platter and pair it with graham crackers, cookies, or pretzels for dipping or spreading.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
