Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese and peanut butter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, stirring well after each addition. Continue mixing until the dough is thick and holds together. If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
- Shape and chill: Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Serving suggestion: Serve chilled for the best texture, but let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes if they’ve been in the freezer.
