The Best chocolate chip cheese ball recipe
This chocolate chip cheese ball recipe is one of my favorite desserts to bring to parties and family gatherings. It is a sweet spread that tastes like cheesecake but is much easier to make. My kids love dipping graham crackers and fruit into it, and I love that it comes together in just a few minutes.
I started making this recipe a few years ago for a holiday get together, and it was such a hit that now I make it for birthdays, game nights, and even just a weekend treat. The cream cheese gives it a rich, creamy texture while the chocolate chips add just the right amount of sweetness. It is also lower in sugar than many desserts, so I feel a little better about serving it to my family.

Yes, you can make it up to 2 days in advance. Just keep it wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator until you are ready to coat and serve it.
2. What can I serve with this cheese ball?
Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, apple slices, and strawberries all work great. You can also use shortbread cookies or even pound cake cubes.
3. Can I freeze this cheese ball?
Freezing is not recommended because the cream cheese texture can become grainy after thawing. It is best to make it fresh and refrigerate.
