Description
As a busy mom, I know how precious time can be, especially when it comes to whipping up something sweet. That’s why I absolutely adore these No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls! They’re not just a quick solution for a hectic day; they’re also a delightful treat that will impress your loved ones.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, for coating
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese. Beat together until smooth and well blended.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the crushed graham crackers until the mixture is well combined and holds together.
- Using your hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the mixture has been rolled into balls, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle each ball with chopped peanuts while the chocolate is still wet for added crunch and flavor.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for at least 1 hour until set, then enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with other nuts or sprinkles.
