Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Optional toppings: melted chocolate, crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Form the Balls: Use a small scoop or spoon to shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the texture.
- Coat the Cheesecake Balls: Roll each chilled cheesecake ball in graham cracker crumbs until evenly coated. For extra flavor and texture, you can also dip them in melted chocolate, or roll them in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut.
- Chill and Serve: Place the coated cheesecake balls back on the baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes until they are firm. Serve these delicious cheesecake treats cold and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and a smooth consistency.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling.
- Try different toppings to customize flavors and textures.
- Keep cheesecake balls refrigerated until serving to maintain firmness.
