Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I like to get my mixing bowl and beat the softened cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth. This makes for the perfect base for our cheesecake balls. Then, I carefully fold in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. You want to mix until everything is well combined and creamy, which takes just a couple of minutes. This is when my kitchen starts to smell heavenly with that rich peanut butter aroma wafting through the air. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
