Description

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball is a creamy, sweet, and festive dessert made with cream cheese, sugars, and chocolate chips. It’s shaped into a ball and rolled in sprinkles, perfect for serving with dippers like cookies or fruit at parties or holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles (for rolling)
  • For Serving: Graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or other preferred dippers

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  3. Use your hands to shape the mixture into a ball. Wet your hands slightly if needed to prevent sticking. Wrap the ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to firm up.
  4. Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and roll it in chocolate sprinkles until fully coated.
  5. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with your choice of dippers like graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices.

Notes

  • Wet your hands lightly when shaping the cheese ball to avoid sticking.
  • Chilling the cheese ball helps it hold its shape better.
  • Use different dippers like cookies, fruit slices, or gluten-free options as desired.
  • Optional flavor additions include orange zest or peanut butter.
