No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls Recipe

How to make No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

Step 1: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press about a teaspoon into the bottoms of silicone mini muffin molds or small cupcake liners to form a crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Using a small cookie scoop, spoon cheesecake mixture on top of the chilled crusts, leaving a little room in the center. Press about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter into the center of each.

Step 4: Cover the peanut butter with a bit more cheesecake mixture and smooth the tops. Freeze for 1 hour or until firm.

Step 5: Dip the tops of each chilled cheesecake ball into melted chocolate and sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs, if desired.

Step 6: Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set. Serve chilled.

• Use crushed Oreos or Biscoff cookies instead of graham crackers.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Best served cold; no reheating necessary.
• Keep chilled until ready to serve to maintain shape and texture.
