Chocolate peanut butter cheesecake balls are a heavenly treat for real peanut butter-chocolate combo lovers. These yummy bites are so rich and decadent, you will satisfy all your sweet cravings with just a few of them. The luscious flavor combination in the form of small bites is a perfect treat to enjoy yourself or to give away as a gift. You will need just five simple ingredients for this recipe:

Cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered natural sweetener, chocolate chips, and a bit more of those things for dusting if desired. They can be a bit messy to make because the cheesecake filling is so smooth and delicate and you have to work quickly. But it’s worth the sweet mess. You’ll also need a little bit more patience because these have to chill in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes.

These little treats have it all, salty, sweet ,a bit crunchy with the bit of finely ground chocolate chip, and of course cheesecake creamy.

I made chocolate peanut butter cheesecake for Christmas this last season, and it proved to be a family favorite… I wanted something easy that would mimic those flavors, and I really think this is it. They are easy to make and nestle nicely in the freezer until you have a hankering for something sweet. I used a cookie baller, but you could definitely make these into a different shape using silicone molds or even ice cube trays.

A few tips:

  • Softening your cream cheese is really essential
  • Watch your macros on store brands. I find Philadelphia brand is the lowest in my area.
  • Use natural peanut butter….almond butter could be substituted if you don’t care for peanut butter.
  • Try different additions, such as white chocolate chips for a fun white inside.
  • These would be extra decadent topped with melted chocolate and or chopped peanuts if you wanted to be fancy.

You absolutely do not need to be on a low-carb or ketogenic diet to enjoy these. Try them on your family and friends. They are a great idea for people who like a late night snack but don’t want to go to bed on a sugar -heavy treat before turning in for the night.

FOLLOW-UP TASTE TEST by C.J.

This little no bake cheesecake balls are the BOMB! I like mine chilled and Sarah likes to warm hers up with a little coffee.  Our batch made 19, and they lasted for several days around our house.  Initially I wondered if less peanut butter might be called for, but during the second time around the peanut butter level and thickness seemed just right, so i personally wouldn’t change anything.  We dusted the batch we made for the video and photos with powdered natural sweetener, we also did a few with a dusting of cocoa powdered I preferred the powdered sweetener version.  I do like the chopped up sugar free chocolate chips that was a nice touch, you probably could add chopped nuts as well.  At any rate this is a easy, and versatile recipe.    Some of you are very skilled cooks, if you make another version let us see it over on Facebook.  We hope you enjoy this recipe!  Don’t forget you can share photos or your creations over in the Facebook Group or on Pinterest.

    Aldis cream cheese the brand label is Happy Farms. But mine said 3 grams of carbs. So its still better getting the Philadelphia brand at only 1 gram of carbs.
