Easy Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites Recipe
These cheesecake bites are made with a creamy cheesecake filling, rolled into bite-sized balls, and dipped in chocolate for a delicious finish. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and sets in the refrigerator, making it a convenient dessert option.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for smoothness)
- Sprinkles or crushed nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Form the Bites: Scoop out small portions of the cheesecake mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Dip the Bites: Remove the cheesecake balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle with toppings like crushed nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Chill Again: Refrigerate the chocolate-covered bites for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Serve: Enjoy your chocolate covered cheesecake bites chilled or at room temperature.
