Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup Your choice of coating (e.g., crushed graham crackers, more mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and well blended.
Add powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or until it is firm enough to shape.
Once firm, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and shape it into a ball using your hands. If the mixture is sticky, you can lightly grease your hands with a little butter or oil.
Roll the cheese ball in your chosen coating (e.g., crushed graham crackers, more mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles) until it is evenly covered.
Transfer the dessert cheese ball to a serving plate. Serve immediately with cookies, graham crackers, or fruit for dipping, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
