Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth—about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt until fluffy.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Form small balls (~1 inch in diameter) from the chilled mixture, making an indentation in each.
Place a soft caramel in each indentation and seal the balls.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and freeze the balls for 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until smooth.
Dip each frozen cheesecake ball in the melted chocolate and roll in crushed pretzels.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
