Description

These creamy, bite-sized peanut butter cheesecake balls are the perfect no-bake dessert. With a rich peanut butter and cream cheese filling coated in chocolate, theyโ€™re easy to make and absolutely irresistible. Great for parties, holidays, or an anytime treat!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
  • Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, sprinkles, or sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape.
  3. Using a small scoop or spoon, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  6. Dip the frozen peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, ensuring theyโ€™re fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, letting excess chocolate drip off.
  7. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with your choice of toppings (if using) before the chocolate sets.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
  • For a lighter coating, you can drizzle the melted chocolate over the balls instead of fully dipping them.
