Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press 1 teaspoon of mixture into silicone molds or mini cupcake liners. Chill for 10 minutes.

2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in whipped cream until light and fluffy.

3. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the crust layer. Freeze for 15 minutes.

4. Add a small dollop (½ teaspoon) of peanut butter to the center of each ball. Chill for 10 more minutes.

5. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals in the microwave until smooth and glossy.

6. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate. Place on parchment paper and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and chopped peanuts.

7. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

💡 Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture or crunchy peanut butter for extra bite.

Let the cheesecake balls thaw for 5–10 minutes before serving if frozen.
