Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp 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 walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat them together until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Step 4
Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and transfer the cheese mixture onto it. Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands, then wrap it tightly in the plastic wrap.
Step 5
Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to hold its shape.
Step 6
Once chilled, remove the cheese ball from the plastic wrap and roll it in the graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies until evenly coated.
Step 7
Place the cheese ball on a serving plate and serve immediately with cookies, crackers, or fresh fruit, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
