Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers
  • 1/2 cup Milk Chocolate Chips Optional, for decorating
  • 1/2 cup Whipped Cream Optional, for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Electric Mixer
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. The mixture will be slightly thick.
  3. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers until evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture. The mixture will be quite thick.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up. This makes it much easier to roll into balls.
  5. Once chilled, use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball.
  6. Melt the milk chocolate chips (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the bottom of each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, or drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
  7. Place the finished cheesecake balls on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set (if you used it).
  8. Serve the chilled cheesecake balls. They are delicious as they are, or you can serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt to the cream cheese mixture. You can also use different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate. Store leftover cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
