Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cheesecake Mixture:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- For Coating:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
- For Garnish:
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, and return them to the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top of the coated balls before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to harden.
