Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips choose dairy-free if preferred
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Graham Crackers
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts optional
  • a pinch Salt

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is silky with no lumps.
  • Fold in the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts if using. This will add a delightful texture contrast to the creamy filling. Make sure everything is evenly mixed.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the cheesecake mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the lined sheet and pop them into the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.
  • While the bites chill, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or use a double boiler. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  • Remove the cheesecake bites from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each bite into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and return the coated bites to the parchment-lined tray.
  • Place the coated bites back in the freezer or refrigerator to set completely, about 20-30 minutes. Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and keep chilled until ready to enjoy.

Equipment

Notes

  • These bites freeze beautifully; layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container to prevent sticking.
  • For a vegan version, substitute vegan cream cheese, dairy-free peanut butter, and vegan chocolate chips.
  • Use natural peanut butter and dark chocolate chips for a healthier twist.
