Red Velvet Cheesecake Ball

First recipe! And I'm eating it right now!! This is a quick dessert that will blow minds! And it's very adaptable. I used Red Velvet because that is what the original recipe from www.tasteandtellblog.com. (The pic above is from the website. Mine didn't last long enough for a glamour shot.) Let's get started!

All you need:
 8 oz. Cream cheese at room temp.
 1/2 cup butter at room temp.
 1 1/2 cup red velvet cake mix
 2 tablespoons brown sugar
 1/2 cup powdered sugar
 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
 And your choice of cookie/cracker (I used Vanilla Wafers...they are good.)

Once you have your ingredients set out, grab a mediumish sized bowl and mixer. Put the cream cheese and butter in the bowl and mix until it's well blended. 

Now you will add in the brown and powdered sugar and cake mix. This is why I said that this recipe is adaptable...you can use ANY kind of cake mix. Next time I will try confetti cake and instead of chocolate chips I will substitute sprinkles...what's your different combination? 

Mix this all up and you should get a red cheesecake-like substance. This is incredibly delicious by itself so spread it on some crumbs and you've got a red velvet cheesecake! Anyway, stick to this recipe.... add it the chocolate chips and stir. 

Now we will wrap this into wax paper. I attempted a round ball and it looks like that...whatever. Chill it in the fridge for a minimum of two hours for it to mold properly. While you're waiting go ahead and lick the beaters...you know you want to. 

 Oh and go ahead and lick the bowl clean too. I won't tell.

Finished! To get the affect in the original picture you will need to roll the ball of dip into more chocolate chips. This gives it a professional and fancy look. Serve with Vanilla Wafers (or whatever) and ENJOY!
