Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Coating:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Once the cheesecake balls are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Roll the chocolate-coated balls in graham cracker crumbs until fully coated.
- Return the coated balls to the baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- These cheesecake balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the balls in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
