- 8 oz 226g cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup 100g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup 120g graham cracker crumbs
- Optional coatings: melted chocolate crushed nuts, sprinkles, or additional graham cracker crumbs
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
Use an electric hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Incorporate Graham Cracker Crumbs:
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for about 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle.
Form the Cheesecake Balls:
Once the mixture is firm, remove it from the refrigerator.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture.
Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, bite-sized balls.
Coat the Cheesecake Balls:
Roll each ball in the remaining ½ cup of graham cracker crumbs until fully coated.
