Before the new year comes charging in, it’s OK to enjoy a few more moments of indulgent bliss. After all, your diet starts January 1, right? Whether you’re hosting a sparkly spectacle of your own or attending a sophisticated soiree elsewhere, this impressive dessert is sure to dazzle the party.
Completely dairy-free, this creamy ball-shaped dip is covered in semi-sweet chocolate, which can be perfectly paired with apple slices, strawberries, cinnamon chips or whatever else your heart desires.
Ingredients
8-oz. pkg. dairy-free cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup Wild Friends Organic Honey Sunflower Butter, room temperature
4 Tbsp. Big Tree Farms Organic Blonde Coconut Sugar
1/2 cup Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips
Directions
- In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except for chocolate chips.
- On large piece of plastic wrap, spoon mixture onto center. Tightly wrap up sides around mixture to form ball shape. Freeze 1-2 hours or until ball is firm. Unwrap.
- Pour chocolate chips into large bowl. Roll cheesecake ball in bowl to coat evenly with chips. (Note: You may have to press some chips into the ball with your hands to get it coated well.)
- Place ball back in freezer for a few more hours until firm (can freeze overnight).
- To serve, place ball on serving dish and let defrost 15-20 mins before serving. Add apple slices or graham crackers to the plate for dipping or spreading.
Additional tip: Make sure cream cheese and nut butter are both at room temperature so they can be easily combined.
