Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tbsp melted butter
1/3 cup salted caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate
1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
1. Beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth.
2. Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and fluffy.
3. Stir in a small spoonful of salted caramel sauce if you want extra caramel flavor in the filling.
4. Chill the cheesecake mixture until firm enough to scoop.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter.
6. Scoop and roll the chilled cheesecake mixture into small balls.
7. Roll each ball in the pretzel mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
8. Place the coated cheesecake balls on a lined tray.
9. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce and chocolate.
10. Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt.
11. Chill again until firm, then serve cold.
Notes
Do not skip the chilling steps, because warm or overly soft filling will be hard to roll and can make the cheesecake balls lose their shape.
