Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (for dipping)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and well combined. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and graham cracker crumbs, and continue mixing until fully incorporated and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Shape the Balls: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the peanut butter cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter) in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Balls: Once the cheesecake balls are chilled, dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill to Set: Return the chocolate-covered peanut butter cheesecake balls to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, your No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are ready to enjoy! These bite-sized treats make a perfect snack or dessert for peanut butter and chocolate lovers!
Notes
- For added texture, consider mixing in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the cheesecake mixture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
