Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to ensure a smooth texture. If you find the mixture too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for about 10 minutes before forming the balls. For added flavor, you can mix some finely chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the coating. Adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of powdered sugar to your taste.
