No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls Recipe

  

No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls 

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1 cup chocolate chips (for coating)

1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)

Instructions:

Prepare the Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well integrated. Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs until fully mixed. If desired, incorporate mini chocolate chips.

Form the Balls:

Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, using your hands. Place these balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill:

Refrigerate the peanut butter cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Coat the Balls:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring a complete coating. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill Again:

Place the chocolate-coated cheesecake balls back in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate has set.

Serve:

Once the chocolate coating is firm, enjoy the No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls as a delightful and easy dessert!
