These No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are a delightful treat that combines the rich creaminess of cheesecake with the nutty flavor of peanut butter. With a crunchy chocolate coating, these bite-sized delights are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Cheesecake Balls:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Chocolate Coating:

  • 10 ounces chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • Crushed peanuts or graham cracker crumbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cheesecake Balls: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, then mix until fully combined and creamy. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is thick and rollable.
  2. Shaping: Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  3. Chocolate Coating: Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting the excess drip off, then place back on the baking sheet.
  4. Finishing Touches: Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or graham cracker crumbs if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

  • These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet variation.
