Description

These Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are creamy, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious like mini bites of peanut butter cheesecake bliss! With just a handful of ingredients and no baking required, they come together quickly and chill into the perfect poppable treat. Ideal for holidays, parties, dessert platters, or anytime you need something irresistibly easy and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup finely crushed graham crackers
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (optional but recommended for sweetness & firmness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Melted chocolate or chocolate chips, for dipping or drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base:
    In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients:
    Add the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture thickens into a soft, cookie-dough-like consistency.
  3. Chill:
    Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes to firm it up. This makes rolling the balls much easier.
  4. Form Balls:
    Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them between your palms to form smooth, even balls. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Optional: Add Chocolate:
    Dip the balls into melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the top for a decadent finishing touch. Chill again until the chocolate fully sets.
  6. Serve or Store:
    Keep the cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months for long-term storage.

Notes

  1. If your mixture feels too soft to roll, simply chill longer or add a bit more crushed graham crackers to firm it up.
  2. Use high-quality chocolate for dipping the flavor really shines in these simple treats.
  3. A cookie scoop ensures evenly sized balls, making them look polished and professional.
