Description
Indulge in the No-Bake Delight of Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls
Ingredients
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup melted chocolate (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
2. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until a soft dough forms. The mixture should be firm enough to roll into balls without falling apart.
3. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the peanut butter cheesecake mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
4. Pop the tray of cheesecake balls in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes, or until they’re firm and set.
5. If you want to take these cheesecake balls to the next level, melt some chocolate and dip each ball in it until fully coated. Place the chocolate-dipped balls back on the tray to set.
6. Once the chocolate has hardened, your delectable No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are ready to be devoured. Serve them chilled and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy peanut butter, tangy cheesecake, and optional rich chocolate in every bite.
Notes
Store your No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If you’ve dipped them in chocolate, they’ll keep even longer – around 2 weeks in the fridge. For extended storage, you can freeze the balls (either dipped or undipped) for up to 3 months.
