  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 18–22 balls

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup crushed pretzels

  • ½ cup salted caramel sauce

For Coating:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

For Topping:

  • Extra salted caramel sauce (for drizzle)

  • Crushed pretzels

  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.

  • Fold in crushed pretzels and ½ cup salted caramel sauce.

  • Chill the mixture for 30–45 minutes until firm enough to scoop.

  • Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  • Freeze for 20–30 minutes to firm up.

  • Melt chocolate chips (with coconut oil if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  • Dip each cheesecake ball into melted chocolate, coating fully.

  • Place back on parchment paper and immediately drizzle with caramel, sprinkle crushed pretzels, and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

 

  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

  • Freeze for up to 2 months.

  • Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor contrast.

 

  • If the mixture becomes too soft while rolling, chill again for 10–15 minutes.
