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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  • 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.
