Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (128 grams) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (100 grams) graham cracker crumbs
Binding and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Coating Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese in a mixing bowl, blending thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved.
- Shape the mixture into compact spheres, approximately one inch in diameter, positioning them carefully on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Utilize the microwave to melt chocolate chips, pausing every 30 seconds to stir and ensure smooth liquefaction.
- Carefully immerse each cheesecake sphere into the molten chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Return the chocolate-enrobed treats to the parchment-lined surface, creating a uniform arrangement.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set and the texture to firm.
- Remove from refrigerator, let stand briefly at room temperature, and serve cold for optimal flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Choose room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, creamy texture without lumps.
- Opt for creamy peanut butter instead of natural or chunky varieties for better consistency.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer, more decadent coating that melts smoothly.
- Consider alternative coatings like white chocolate or dark chocolate for flavor variations.
