Ingredients:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups dark chocolate, melted
- Assorted toppings (chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles, cocoa powder, etc.)
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it turns smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the granulated sugar and pure vanilla extract into the cream cheese, and continue to blend until fully combined.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating and stirring at 20-second intervals until smooth and melted.
- Combine the melted chocolate with the cream cheese mixture and stir until the chocolate is evenly integrated.
- Chill the mixture for approximately 30 minutes, or until it’s firm enough to handle.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the cheesecake balls for 20-30 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe container.
- Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring a complete and even coating. Use a fork to lift out the coated balls, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-covered bites back on the parchment paper.
- While the chocolate is still wet, adorn each bite with your choice of toppings.
- Refrigerate the Chocolate Cheesecake Bites for at least an hour or until the chocolate sets.
- Serve chilled and relish the heavenly flavors!
