Ingredients
  

Crust Base
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Peanut Butter Layer
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Coating and Topping
  • 8 oz white chocolate or white candy coating melted
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate melted for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts or toffee bits for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand Mixer
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
  3. In another small bowl, stir the peanut butter with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until thick and slightly stiff.
  4. Take about a tablespoon of cheesecake filling and flatten it in your palm. Place a ½ teaspoon of peanut butter mixture in the center, then wrap the cheesecake mixture around it, pinching to seal and rolling gently into a smooth ball.
  5. Roll each ball in the graham cracker crumb mixture to coat the outside and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Freeze the balls for 20–30 minutes, or until firm and chilled. This keeps them from falling apart when dipping.
  7. Dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate to fully coat, letting excess drip off. Set onto lined tray. Drizzle with melted semisweet chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peanuts or toffee bits while still wet.
  8. Chill again for 25–30 minutes, or until chocolate is set. Store in the fridge and bring to room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying for the creamiest texture.

Notes

These no-bake cheesecake balls are perfect for hot summer days or when you want a quick dessert without turning on the oven. Customize the toppings to your liking for a personal touch.
