This recipe was contributed by Ida Zeiler, a fan of the blog. We are a fan of her delicious-looking recipes! Thanks, Ida! Look for more to come from her in the next few days! I can't wait to try this chocolate chip cheescake ball! Seems like the perfect thing to take to a holiday party!
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Ball
ingredients:
1 [8oz] package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar [powdered sugar]
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
directions:
1 - in a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir in mini chocolate chips
2- put a good sized piece of saran wrap over a cereal bowl. Place the batter in the cereal bowl [now seated in the wrap] and cover the batter with the edges of the wrap.
3- chill for at least 2-3 hours. BEST if chilled overnight
4- lay a new piece of saran wrap on the counter. Evenly lay out a square of pecans. Take the batter into your hands and mold it into a ball. Then roll in the ball in the pecans. Place it on the center of a serving plate. Use your hands to press the pecans that did not already stick [look for bare areas and cover them].
** Serve with cinnamon graham crackers around the ball
