No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

Easy, creamy, no-bake cheesecake balls made with peanut butter and dipped in rich chocolate. A perfect sweet treat with minimal effort!

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 18–20 balls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for melting chocolate)
  • Chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Use an electric mixer for a fluffier texture.
  2. Sweeten and Flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if using). Mix again until fully combined. The mixture should be thick but scoopable. If it’s too soft, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Shape the Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the peanut butter cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This will make them easier to dip in chocolate.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil or butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  6. Dip the Balls: Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and place them back on the parchment-lined tray.
  7. Garnish (Optional): While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with chopped peanuts for a little crunch and extra flair.
  8. Set and Serve: Chill again for about 15–20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
  • You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
