This Easter bunny butt chocolate cheesecake cheese ball turns a delicious double chocolate cheesecake cheese ball into the cutest sweet treat ever. With a decadently sinful chocolate cheesecake base, this Easter bunny butt cheese ball is as yummy as it is cute.
I adore the bunny butt treat trend. What is cuter and more Easter-y and springtime-y than a fluffy little bunny butt? Nothing! Especially when cute little bunny paws are involved too.
And really, just look at how cute those bunny paws are.
I just couldn’t let this spring go by without making something with a little bunny booty and adorable bunny feet. A dessert cheese ball just seemed like the perfect treat to turn into a bunny butt. The consistency of this dessert cheese ball is so pliable.
This bunny butt is all very simple shapes, making this the perfect food craft to get the kids involved with. Even my youngest likes to help making this because you just roll the cheese ball into 4 smaller balls.
In order to make the main bunny body, I use my hands to roll about two thirds of the cheese ball mixture into a large ball. Two smaller balls flattened into little oval cheese cake pancake shapes make up the feet. Lastly you just make a smaller ball for the tail. And to get the bunny fluff feeling? Roll all the pieces of the chocolate cheesecake cheese ball in food processed Golden Oreo cookies.
Not a fan of Golden Oreos? You could roll the cheese ball into coconut flakes the way I did with my snowman themed dessert cheese ball. It would give a nice ‘fluffy’ fur effect to your bunny butt ball, and possibly mesh more with your Easter decor. I know a lot of people often associate white with the Easter Bunny and all.
To finish, this Easter bunny butt chocolate cheesecake cheese ball off, press three pink M&M’s into each bunny foot as toes. Then center one pink M&M in each bunny foot above the toes as the pad of the bunny’s foot. The pink adds that extra springtime feel to this fun dessert.
And the rich chocolate cheesecake that makes this dessert cheese ball is just as sweet to eat as it is to make and look at. The chocolate cheesecake cheese ball has extra richness from double the chocolate. You mix half a cup of cocoa powder with the cream cheese, sugars, and softened butter before you fold in chocolate chips. The result? Serious chocolate cheesecake heaven with a Golden Oreo crust.
Serve this deliciously adorable Easter bunny butt chocolate cheesecake cheese ball with vanilla wafers or more Oreos for dipping. Then watch as this adorable Easter dessert delights everyone at your holiday celebration.

Can I make this the day before?
Or does the crust get soggy?

You can make the cheeseball the day before and store it wrapped in syran wrap in the fridge, but don’t roll it in the crumb coating until closer to when you’re ready to serve.

I found that 1/2 cup of cocoa powder was way to much. My mix turned black/brown and the texture was silky. If I made this again I would cut the cocoa powder down to 1/4 cup at most. I also used special dark powder, so that may be the issue. Because of how much cocoa I used, I also had to add another 1/3 cup of powdered sugar. It turned out yummy, it was a mess to make but my family enjoyed, and that’s what matters!

Sorry for the confusion, Danielle. Yes, when I made this I’ve only used plain old regular cocoa powder- not the special dark. That would definitely affect the color. Glad you all still enjoyed it, and it can be a bit of a mess to make- but still so much fun to enjoy 🙂
