Description

These No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are bite-sized, creamy treats combining smooth cream cheese, rich peanut butter, and crunchy graham cracker crumbs. Easy to prepare with no baking required, they can be optionally dipped in a luscious chocolate coating for an extra indulgent touch. Perfect for quick desserts or party snacks, these cheesecake balls are served chilled and make for a delightful sweet bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)

Chocolate Coating (Optional)

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add graham cracker crumbs: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture becomes thick and easy to roll into balls.
  3. Form balls: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them onto a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Freeze: Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes to let them firm up.
  5. Melt chocolate (optional): If coating with chocolate, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Coat balls: Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then return them to the parchment-lined tray.
  7. Set chocolate: Refrigerate the coated balls for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set before serving chilled.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and smooth texture.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits or similar cookies.
  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and chocolate chips.
  • Store the cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • The chocolate coating is optional but adds a nice texture and flavor contrast.
  • If you prefer, roll the balls only in graham crumbs or chopped nuts instead of coating in chocolate.
