A sweet take on a classic cheeseball, this cheesecake version is flavored with orange and tastes just like a creamsicle!
Ingredient :
- 16ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1⁄2cup butter, at room temperature
- 1tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 2tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1⁄2teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1cup powdered sugar
- 3ounces orange Jell-O, mix
- 1⁄3cup orange sprinkles
- 1⁄3cup white chocolate chips, roughly chopped
- 3ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions :
- Beat together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, powdered sugar and orange Jell-O mix and stir until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Transfer the chilled mixture to a large sheet of plastic wrap and use the wrap to help shape into a smooth ball.
- In a shallow dish, combine the orange sprinkles and the white chocolate. Unwrap the cheeseball and roll around in the sprinkle and chocolate mixture until evenly coated.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and transfer to a piping bag or plastic food storage bag with the end snipped off. Pipe out the lines of the basketball. Serve with cookies, crackers, and/or fruit.
