It&#8217;s made with cream cheese, butter, chocolate chips and a few other key ingredients, and the result is a dessert that&#8217;s simply made for smearing on graham crackers, vanilla wafers or even on top of a chocolate chip cookie. It keeps for a week too, so if you happen to be lucky enough to have leftovers, you can treat yourself throughout the week. Bonus: You can make it ahead of time, because this chocolate chip cheese ball actually freezes well too.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2070055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Chocolate-Chip-Cheese-Ball_TOHD24_13277_MelissaPatterson_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball by Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Melissa Patterson for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:\u00a0<\/strong>You&#8217;ll want to bring the cream cheese to room temperature first for the best results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>Unsalted butter is best for this recipe, so the salt won&#8217;t interfere with the other ingredients.

Store it this way, in the fridge, for up to one week.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze chocolate chip cheese balls?<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps surprisingly, yes, you can freeze a chocolate chip cheese ball. However, be sure to leave the final crunchy nut coating off until you&#8217;re ready to serve it. To freeze it, wrap it in plastic wrap first, then put it inside a freezer-safe zip-top baggie. Freeze it this way for up to one month. To serve it, thaw it overnight in the fridge, remove the bag and plastic wrap, then roll it in nuts once it&#8217;s fully thawed.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2070068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Chocolate-Chip-Cheese-Ball_TOHD24_13277_MelissaPatterson_14.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball by Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Melissa Patterson for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why is my cheese ball coming out crumbly?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few main culprits to look at when it comes to a crumbling cheese ball situation. First, be sure to bring all ingredients up to room temperature before mixing them. Keeping the cheese and butter on the counter for at least an hour results in a creamier consistency, which will allow the cheese ball ingredients to fully blend for better malleability.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I fix a too-runny cheese ball?<\/h3>\n<p>The opposite of a too-crumbly cheese ball is one that&#8217;s too runny. It won&#8217;t hold its shape, and it turns into a rather absurd mess when you&#8217;re trying to serve it. To remedy this, simply add more butter or cream cheese, a tablespoon at a time. Be sure to mix and integrate the additional butter or cream cheese well before adding more.<\/p>\n<h3>How long can a chocolate chip cheese ball sit out?<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re serving this at a party, you might be wondering just how long a cheese ball can sit out on the table. While this is a delicious app (or dessert!), it does have a shorter shelf life than other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/party-appetizers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/party-appetizers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">crowd-pleasing apps<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/potluck-desserts-to-feed-a-crowd\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/potluck-desserts-to-feed-a-crowd\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">party-appropriate desserts<\/a>: You should not leave a cheese ball out of the fridge for more than two hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your guests are in for a sweet surprise when they try this chocolate chip cheese ball\u2014it tastes just like cookie dough!
