Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces (227g) Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (240g) Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 12 ounces (340g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Coconut Oil (optional)
  • Sprinkles, chopped peanuts, sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  2. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Add a pinch of salt.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.
  5. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the cheesecake mixture. Roll each portion into a smooth ball using your hands. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. For easier dipping, chill the rolled balls for another 30 minutes.
  7. In a small saucepan over low heat, or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) until smooth, stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  8. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork or dipping tools to lift the ball out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
  9. Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles, chopped peanuts, sea salt, or other desired toppings.
  10. Place the dipped balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
  11. Once the chocolate is set, remove the bliss balls from the refrigerator and serve. They're best enjoyed cold.
