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)
- 0 optional Graham crackers, pretzels, or strawberries (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Fold in the 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips onto a large plate or shallow dish.
Step 7
Unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the chocolate chips, pressing slightly to make sure the chips stick evenly to the outside.
Step 8
Transfer the coated cheese ball to a serving plate and pair with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping.
Step 9
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.
