Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp (2g) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp (28g) melted unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (15ml) coconut oil
Instructions:
- Beat the softened cream cheese (225g), powdered sugar (30g), and vanilla extract (2g) using an electric mixer until the mixture is velvety and free of lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, stir the melted unsalted butter (28g) into the fine graham cracker crumbs (100g) until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Fold the buttered crumbs into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, mixing until the crumbs are fully incorporated and the dough is cohesive.
- If the mixture is too tacky to handle, place the bowl in the refrigerator to rest for 15 minutes.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch spheres and roll them gently between your palms to smooth the surface.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes to firm the center.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips (225g) and coconut oil (15ml) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval to avoid scorching.
- Use a fork to dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, lifting and rotating to let the excess drip off.
- Set the dipped balls on parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes until the chocolate shell is fully set.
