How this recipe comes together
Making Crispy Creamy Dessert Bites is straightforward and fun. You’ll start by combining cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla for that luscious filling. Next, a quick fold of chocolate chips and optional nuts adds delightful surprises in every bite. After chilling for just 30 minutes, the mixture is formed into balls and rolled in graham cracker crumbs. A quick fry in hot oil transforms them into golden, crispy treasures.
Gather these items
To create these delightful dessert bites, here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup cooking oil (for frying)
You can easily swap out some ingredients based on your preferences. For instance, use almond butter instead of cream cheese for a nutty alternate, or replace chocolate chips with butterscotch for a different flavor dimension.
