No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls — Creamy, Dreamy, and Irresistible

Step-by-Step: How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

Step 1: Make the Graham Base

In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy and fully combined.

Step 3: Combine and Roll

Stir in the graham mixture until evenly distributed. Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Chill

Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle for dipping.

Step 5: Optional Chocolate Coating

Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, then sprinkle with your choice of crushed peanuts, graham crumbs, or a touch of sea salt.

Step 6: Chill Again

Place coated balls back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate sets (about 15–20 minutes).
