No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or crushed cookies (like Nilla Wafers or digestives)
- Optional: pinch of salt
For Coating (optional but delicious):
- Melted chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- Crushed peanuts, graham crumbs, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Mix filling:
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. - Add crumbs:
Stir in crushed graham crackers or cookies until the mixture is thick and dough-like. (You should be able to roll it into balls. If it’s too soft, chill for 20–30 mins.) - Roll into balls:
Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray. - Chill:
Refrigerate or freeze for 30 minutes until firm. - Coat (optional):
Dip in melted chocolate or roll in crushed peanuts, more crumbs, or cocoa powder. - Serve or store:
Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer.
Bonus Ideas:
- Add a few mini chocolate chips or crushed pretzels into the mix for texture.
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, healthier option.
