Bunny Cheese Ball Dessert
This sweet Easter treat is made with a creamy blend of cream cheese, butter, and sugars, then packed with white chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles for extra texture and flavor. Rolled in shredded coconut to mimic bunny fur, it’s shaped into an adorable bunny bottom that’s perfect for spring parties and Easter brunches.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) packets brick-style cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 8 pink M&Ms
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the mixture for the tail and 3 tablespoons each for the feet. Use the remaining mixture for the body.
- Place each portion on its own piece of plastic wrap. Shape the body and tail into balls and the foot portions into oval foot shapes. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, unwrap each piece and roll in shredded coconut to coat completely.
- Place the large ball on a serving plate as the body. Position the feet at the base and the small ball in the center for the tail.
- Press pink M&Ms into each foot to create paw pad details. Serve chilled with graham crackers, fruit, or pretzels.
Notes
- Store the assembled cheese ball in an airtight container or gently covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- This cheese ball isn’t ideal for freezing, as the texture may change once it's thawed.
