Description
Creamy no-bake peanut butter cheesecake balls—just 4 ingredients, no oven required, decadently smooth and peanut buttery.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (or similar crust crumbs)
Instructions
- Make sure the cream cheese is very soft (room temperature) so it mixes smoothly without lumps.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract into the bowl. Mix thoroughly, using electric mixer or hand mixer, until the mixture is uniform in color and texture—no streaks.
- Fold in the crushed graham crackers gradually, so they’re evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake peanut butter mixture. The crumbs should help firm up the balls.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out bites. Roll each portion between your palms into smooth balls.
- Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours until firm enough to hold shape.
- Once chilled, serve cold.
Notes
- Soft cream cheese is critical; if cold, you’ll get lumps.
- Adjust sweetness if needed—depending on how sweet your peanut butter is.
