Description
Indulge in the delectable combination of creamy peanut butter and rich cheesecake with these irresistible No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the hassle of baking, these bite-sized treats are a crowd-pleasing dessert that’s sure to delight.
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 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.
3. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
4. Refrigerate the balls for about 20–30 minutes, or until they are firm.
5. If you want an extra layer of indulgence, melt the chocolate and dip each ball in until fully coated. Place the coated balls back on the tray to set.
6. Chill the balls again until the chocolate hardens, then serve them chilled and enjoy!
Notes
To ensure your No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
– Be sure to mix the base ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dough seems too soft, add a bit more graham cracker crumbs to achieve the right firmness for rolling.
– Store the chilled, uncoated balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer-term storage, you can freeze the balls for up to 2 months.
