Notes

  • Soften cream cheese completely for a smooth base.
  • Sifting powdered sugar and cocoa powder prevents lumps.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the cheeseball light and fluffy.
  • Chill the cheeseball for at least 2 hours to firm it up.
  • Adjust the ratio of chocolate chips to graham crackers in the coating to your liking.
  • The cheeseball can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just wait to coat it until right before serving.
