Description
Creamy no-bake cheesecake balls coated in a smooth chocolate shell, perfect for parties, holidays, or an easy bite-sized dessert.
Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
Extra graham cracker crumbs or sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
- Stir in graham cracker crumbs until a thick dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on the prepared sheet.
- Freeze the balls for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each ball into melted chocolate, ensuring full coating. Let excess drip off and return to parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs or decorations while chocolate is still wet, if desired.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is fully set. Serve chilled.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill longer before shaping.
Coconut oil helps create a smoother chocolate coating but can be omitted.
Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
