Chocolate Chip Cheeseball

Yield: 1 large cheeseball

Prep Time: 1 20

Total Time: 1 20

Ingredients

12 ounces (340 g) cream cheese, light or regular, softened to room temperature
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup (57 g) powdered sugar
¼ cup (53 g) packed light brown sugar
¾ cup (128 g) mini chocolate chips
1 cup crushed chocolate cookies, like chocolate teddy grahams or oreos, for rolling

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar and brown sugar until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to give the mixture time to firm up a little bit.
Place the crushed cookies on a dinner plate or shallow pie plate. Using lightly greased hands, mold the cream cheese mixture into a ball. Even after chilling it will be slightly soft so don’t worry if this part gets a little messy. Drop the ball into the crushed cookies and roll around and/or scoop up the crushed cookies and lightly press them into the cheeseball.
Place the cheeseball on a serving platter and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, apples, chocolate cookies or whatever your little heart desires!
