Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Graham crackers, cookies, or pretzels (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix on low speed until incorporated. (Note: Flour can be heat-treated beforehand if desired for safety.)
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans or walnuts if using.
Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands or a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap the cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, remove the cheese ball from the fridge and let it soften slightly for 10-15 minutes. Serve with graham crackers, cookies, or pretzels for dipping.
