Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
Optional Toppings
- Chocolate chips
- Crushed nuts (pistachios, pecans, or others)

Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Soften the cream cheese at room temperature. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and silky, forming the creamy base for the cheesecake balls.
- Shape the Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the cream cheese mixture and roll each portion into bite-sized balls with your hands. The mixture may be sticky, but chilling will help them firm up.
- Coat the Balls: Roll each cheesecake ball in your choice of coating such as graham cracker crumbs, crushed nuts, or sprinkles to add texture and visual appeal.
- Chill to Set: Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for at least one hour to firm up for easy handling and the best flavor.
