The Scoop
This is not a dessert; it’s a social event disguised as one!
Dessert Ball shows up to the party rich, creamy, a little chaotic in the best way, and absolutely loaded with chocolate chips and toffee bits. It’s the kind of treat people “just try a bite” of… and then suddenly it’s gone.
No baking, no stress, just full-on crowd-pleasing energy rolled into one dangerously shareable ball. (read: not actually shareable). Every family has that one dessert that somehow ends up becoming “the official problem.” Dessert Ball can and will become yours.
Ingredients
For the ball:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup toffee bits
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup toffee bits
Directions
- Add the cream cheese, the butter, and the vanilla to a mixing bowl and cream them together with an electric mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar and the brown sugar to the cream cheese mixture and mix until all of the ingredients are fully combined.
- Add 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips and 1/3 cup of the toffee bits to the cream cheese mixture and stir well.
- Cover the bowl and chill the cream cheese mixture for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Place the cream cheese mixture on plastic wrap and cover, then gently press on the plastic wrap to shape the mixture into a ball.
- Pour the pecans, the remaining chocolate chips, and the remaining toffee bits into a bowl and stir well.
- Unwrap the dessert ball and place it in the topping bowl, rolling it around until it is completely coated.
- Serve.
