Description
No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are deliciously creamy and indulgent treats that combine the rich flavors of peanut butter and cream cheese, coated in a luscious chocolate exterior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 225g cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1½ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture holds its shape and is easy to roll.
- Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Refrigerate the coated balls for another 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Chilling helps the balls firm up for easier coating.
- Use quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Experiment with different nut butters if desired.
