Description

This Cookie Dough Cheese Ball is a delightful treat that combines the creamy richness of cream cheese with the sweet flavors of chocolate chip cookie dough. Whipped to perfection and chilled to set, it’s an irresistible appetizer or dessert served with crackers or cookies for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup butter (at room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Add-ins and Coating

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate morsels
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or M&M’s

Dippers

  • Animal crackers, Biscoff cookies, or graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream Cheese and Butter: In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Sugars: Gradually whip in the dark brown sugar and powdered sugar until fully incorporated, creating a sweet, smooth base.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Morsels: Gently stir in the mini chocolate morsels to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow the cheese ball to firm up.
  5. Shape and Coat: After chilling, mold the mixture into a ball shape. Roll the cheese ball in finely chopped pecans or cover it with M&M’s to coat the outside.
  6. Serve: Place the cookie dough cheese ball on a serving plate with animal crackers, Biscoff cookies, or graham crackers for dipping and enjoy.

Notes

  • This cheese ball offers a lighter, creamier alternative to traditional cookie dough, making it less dense yet packed with flavor.
  • It’s delicious served with vanilla wafers, but you can pair it with almost any simple cookie for dipping.
  • For a fun twist, try different coatings such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, or cookie crumbs.
