If you wanna go all sweetheart on it? Form it into the shape of a heart. Who could resist?
This heart shaped cheeseball is the main attraction on my Valentine Dessert Cheese Board . Who says cheese boards have to be savory? Not this girl. This one, however, is the first I have posted about here on my blog. What better time than for my favorite holiday?? Go ahead and judge. I puffy heart love Valentine’s Day, and have as long as I can remember.
Ingredients for this Red Velvet Cheese Ball:
- cream cheese
- butter
- red velvet box cake mix
- powdered and brown sugar
- white chocolate chips
The color is just gorgeous, isn’t it? Cream together the butter and cream cheese until it’s smooth. Add in sugars and cake mix until incorporated.
Form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for a couple of hours, or over night. Place half of the white chips under the ball and the others over the top. Coat the ball on all sides with the white chocolate chips.
If you want to make a heart shaped one, Smash the ball down and slightly form the heart. When you unwrap it, form the heart and smooth it out. For the heart I used half of the chips and only coated the top.
I have seen others coated in chocolate chips, and that would be delicious, too. I just loved the look of the white chips. Especially for Valentine’s Day. I roughly chopped my chips with my manual food chopper. You could skip this step, but I, myself, liked the look of the imperfect chocolate.
Serve it up with graham crackers and cookies like shortbread or vanilla wafers.
Add it to your dessert cheeseboard. Surround it with cheeses, fruits and chocolates.
