How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

Step 1 — Make the Graham Cracker Crust

In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.

Step 2 — Make the Cheesecake Filling

Beat softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 3 — Combine

Add half of the crust mixture into the peanut butter cheesecake mixture and fold until combined. This gives the filling structure and texture.

Step 4 — Scoop and Roll

Use a tablespoon or small scoop to form small balls. Roll until smooth and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5 — Coat

Roll the balls in the remaining graham cracker mixture or dip them in melted chocolate. You can also roll them in peanuts or sprinkles — get creative!

Step 6 — Chill

Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
