Additionally, using full-fat cream cheese ensures a rich and creamy texture that balances perfectly with the chocolate coating.

Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.

When ready to enjoy, simply remove the desired number of cookie balls from the freezer and let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours. This way, you can always have a delicious treat on hand without the hassle of making them from scratch every time!
