Shape this Butterscotch Cheese Ball into a basketball and you've got the perfect March Madness dessert! Creamy and sweet and loaded with butterscotch flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 Tablespoons butterscotch sauce (ice cream topping)
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ cups butterscotch morsels, divided
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, optional for basketball
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with butter until fully blended. Add butterscotch sauce and sugars, and beat until combined. Add in ½ cup butterscotch morsels.
- Line a small bowl (about a 4 cup size) with plastic wrap. Drop the cheese ball mixture into the bowl and wrap it up. Refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove plastic wrap and place cheese ball on a small plate. Press down and shape into a 6-7 inch circle.
- Press remaining 1 cup butterscotch morsels into the top and sides of cheese ball. Melt chocolate morsels in a small bowl, in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Place chocolate in a small ziploc bag. Snip off the corner and pipe thick lines on the cheese ball to make it look like a basketball (optional).
- ENJOY with pretzels, animal cookies, nilla wafers or graham crackers.
