What Can I Make With Cream Cheese and Chocolate Chips
Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake. Let me repeat that. Chocolate. Cream Cheese. Cake. Yeah, I think that sounds like a pretty darn delicious combo. And trust me, it is. This Chocolate Chunk Cream Cheese Cake is incredibly simple to make, but a nice change on your average cakes and bars.
They are wonderfully rich (hello, cream cheese!) with a buttery cake layer and a cream cheese top layer. This cream cheese cake recipe has been one of my most popular recipes!
I love this recipe if I want something that is easy to pull together but a little out of the ordinary. It absolutely positively melts in your mouth.
I made this using DOVE Dark Chocolate Promises, but chocolate chips or chunks work just the same. The dark chocolate lends itself wonderfully to the sweetness of the cake.
You could absolutely use a milk chocolate or semi-sweet if you like, but I do love it with the dark chocolate. I like to mix chocolate chunks and chips.
While these cut a bit like a brownie or bar, you will want a plate and a fork to eat these with. Or straight from the pan, no judgement here.
They are rich, which is not something I say often, so this 8×8 pan can easily create 16 servings.
To make these you whip up your crust layer, add in some chocolate, spread on your cream cheese layer then top with, what else, more chocolate.
It really is simple and comes together very quickly. You could serve it warm, but I prefer it cool or at room temperature.
Remember, you can easily use chocolate chips in place of the Dove chocolate. I had the Dove on hand so I used it, but it's every bit as good with chocolate chips.
Oh yeah! Chocolate Chunk Cream Cheese Cake!
Grab a fork and dig in.
