Description

These No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are a rich, creamy, and crunchy dessert perfect for any occasion. Combining smooth cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and crunchy graham crackers with mini chocolate chips, they offer delightful texture and flavor. Coated in melted chocolate, these bite-sized treats are easy to make and require no oven time, chilling in the refrigerator to set for a perfect indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers or cookies
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Coating

  • Melted chocolate for dipping (approximately 8 oz or as needed)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or spoon to mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  2. Add the Crunch: Stir in the crushed graham crackers and mini chocolate chips gently but thoroughly to ensure even distribution throughout the filling.
  3. Form the Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into small 1-inch diameter balls, making sure they are uniform in size for even chilling and coating.
  4. Chill: Place the formed balls on a tray lined with parchment paper or wax paper, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape during dipping.
  5. Dip in Chocolate: Once chilled, dip each cheesecake ball into melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Use a fork to lift them out and gently tap off excess chocolate.
  6. Set and Serve: Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • You can substitute crushed cookies in place of graham crackers for a different crunch or flavor.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more nutty taste.
  • Store cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For an extra decorative touch, drizzle with contrasting melted white chocolate or sprinkle crushed peanuts before the coating sets.
