Step-by-Step Instructions
To start making these delicious No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls, first, I grab a mixing bowl and combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. I like to beat the mixture with my electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy, which usually takes just a minute or two—you’ll want to make sure there are no lumps. The unique aroma of peanut butter filling my kitchen is absolutely heavenly! Once it’s all blended to perfection, I fold in the graham cracker crumbs and a pinch of salt with a rubber spatula to keep that lovely texture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
