Remember those Creamy Chocolate Chip Balls that I mentioned yesterday? Well, here’s the recipe! And, oh my goodness, they are incredible. Definitely make them!
These little bite-size treats literally melt in your mouth thanks to some smooth cinnamon cream cheese, but they’re not all mush either. Cooled coconut oil gives them a firm texture and a subtle sweetness while chocolate chips and rolled oats add a bit of crunch and chew to these delicious dessert balls. Bonus: They are relatively low in calories!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
- 2 wedges of Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Cinnamon Cream Cheese
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, until fully blended. (Blend by hand or in a small food processor.) Once blended, stir in chocolate chips.
- Roll batter into 1-inch balls and place on wax paper on top of a plate or tray.
- Place plate/tray in refrigerator to cool balls for 2+ hours.
- Remove from refrigerator and enjoy immediately.
Makes 7-8 balls

Mmm…. I bet these would be just as good with some honey in there instead of the sugar 🙂 I love little snacky things so I can’t wait to try this recipe out!
I actually made them with honey the first time (they were tasty), but I liked the sugar version better! 🙂
um YUM! I still haven’t tried the cinnamon laughing cow wedges, I need to find them!
Omg those sound like a perfect sweet little snack.
I have been waiting for the recipe sense you posted about them! I love how their is not a lot of ingredients. I can’t wait to try these!
so brilliant! so easy! i’m totally making these for the next party i go to!
Ooooh those look awesome! I’ve never tried that cinnamon cream cheese but this sounds like a great way to use it!
How many calories in each ball?
It depends on how big you make them, but 80-90 calories per ball.
Did you find that the coconut oil got a little hard when it hit the cold cream cheese? I was making a Paleo bread the other day and melted my coconut oil and then added cold eggs… I ended up with chunks of hardened oil! Cooking fail… 🙂
The melted coconut oil actually helped soften the cream cheese even more!
yum yum!!!
noms!! Wish I wasn’t in a paleo challenge otherwise i’d leave work early just to go make and eat these!
Coconut oil…does it have a stong coconut flavor? In other words, would someone who does not like coconut enjoy this recipe? 🙂
You can taste coconut, but it’s not super strong… more cream cheesy!
I love using cheese – what a surprise ingredient! I like that these balls do not have a nut butter. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love nut butters, but this is a great new take on a familiar recipe.
I just made these with a scoop of vanilla protein powder and then no sugar! Really good!
You had me at cinnamon cream cheese! Definitely have to give these a try. Perhaps for the Patriots game on Sunday?
These look Amazeballz 🙂
Oooo…these look super yummy! I’m going to have to make some.
These sound and look fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
These look like a DELICIOUS snack! 🙂
I love making little bites like these but I never thought to put in laughing cow! What a genius idea!
These looks so good, and a delicious treat. I’d probably eat a few in one sitting … I’m going to try them and sub in stevia for sugar.
I can’t find the laughing cow wedges at my local grocery store. Any recommendations for a substitute?!?
Cream cheese and cinnamon?
I’ve been waiting for this recipe since you mentioned them! I’m going to try them to Lorna, although I don’t think that I can get that type of laughing cow!
@Lindsay:
Ugh… To Lorna = TOMoRROW!!!! Darn autocorrect!
YUM. Making these so I can eat “cookie dough” and not feel so guilty 🙂
yum! a healthier dessert that’s no-bake!? I’m in!
I live in the South Shore area and can’t find LC cinnamon spread anywhere. Where do you find yours? Thanks!
does laughing cow have any lactose free cheese products on the market?
I have the hardest time finding flavored Laughing Cow cheese! If I ever find the Cinnamon Cream Cheese, I’m making these.
i made something similar the other day with oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, ground flaxseed, and chocolate chips. yum! i’ll have to try these too!
I substituted brown sugar for white sugar and added some chopped walnuts. I bought the Laughing Cow cinnamon cream cheese at Walmart. These are very easy to make and definitely worth trying.
The Laughing Cow has aspartame 🙁
I love your recipes but where is the nutritional information for them? It’d be nice to see how many calories these creations are as well as fat content, sugar, etc.
So I saw these and was SO excited to try them …. I’ve made three batches within one week…. I may have a problem! (But this last time I added flax seed so that makes it like a fiber bar right? 😉 )
Can I make these without the oats? I am trying my hardest to eat primal 🙂 Thanks!
Hi!!! I just discovered your blog and I loved it … I will try more than one of your recipes. Thanks for publishing
Just made these.. super yummy!! Only problem, I couldn’t stop at just one 🙂
