Ingredients

Scale

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)
Coconut flakes
Sprinkles

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.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free texture.
Chill cheesecake balls well to maintain shape and enhance flavor.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and quick portioning.
Be creative with coatings to keep presentation fresh and enticing.
Keep cheesecake balls chilled until serving for the best taste.
