No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls Recipe

How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls?

Let’s get to the fun part—making these delicious treats!

1. Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and well-combined. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until fully incorporated. If you’re adding mini chocolate chips, fold them in now.

2. Form the Balls

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment pepper. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly round—imperfection is part of their charm!

3. Chill

Pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the balls firm up, making them easier to dip into the melted chocolate.

4. Coat the Balls

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet.

5. Chill Again

Once coated, return the cheesecake balls to the fridge for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

Now that the chocolate coating is firm, these delicious No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Perfect for any occasion, or just as a snack when you’re craving something sweet.

What to Serve with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

These cheesecake balls pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea, making them an ideal dessert for any gathering. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Tips for Making the Best Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

• • Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps in your filling.
  • Chilling Is Key: Don’t skip the chilling steps! The cheesecake balls need time to firm up before being coated in chocolate.

• Smooth Chocolate Coating: Adding a little coconut oil to the melted chocolate helps create a smooth and glossy finish, but it’s optional.

These No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls store wonderfully in the fridge! Place them in an airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the fridge before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use chunky peanut butter?

Yes! Chunky peanut butter will add texture, but keep in mind that the smooth creaminess of the filling will be slightly altered.

Do I need to use coconut oil for the chocolate coating?

Nope! Coconut oil helps the chocolate melt more smoothly and gives it a shinier finish, but it’s entirely optional. You can melt the chocolate without it.

Can I freeze these cheesecake balls?

Absolutely! These no-bake cheesecake balls freeze wonderfully. Just store them in a freezer-safe container and thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
