Description
Deliciously creamy cheesecake balls coated in chocolate, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp finely crushed graham crackers (optional, for texture)
- 2–3 tbsp dried cranberries or chocolate chips (optional, for surprise filling)
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate or milk chocolate, melted
- Extra crushed graham crackers or powdered sugar for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake mixture: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Fold in crushed graham crackers and any optional mix-ins (cranberries or chocolate chips).
- Shape into balls: Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30–45 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Finish & chill: Place coated balls back on parchment, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or powdered sugar, and refrigerate until chocolate is set (about 20 minutes).
- Serve & enjoy: Keep refrigerated until serving. Best enjoyed chilled for that creamy bite!
Notes
- Optional mix-ins add a delightful surprise to every bite.
- Chilling the balls before coating helps them maintain their shape.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
