Directions

• Line 2 sheet trays with parchment paper or silicon baking mats. In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and the peanut butter until well-combined and uniform in color. Use a tablespoon or a small disher-style scoop to scoop balls of the peanut butter cheesecake mixture onto the lined sheet trays. Freeze the cheesecake balls for about an hour, or until solid.TipHero In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted. This step may take up to 90 seconds, or a little more, depending on your microwave. Using a toothpick to lift it, dip one of the solid frozen cheesecake balls into the melted chocolate, lightly shaking off any excess chocolate, until completely coated.TipHero Place the chocolate-covered cheesecake ball back on the lined sheet tray. Using a second toothpick, seal the hole created by the first toothpick with chocolate. Immediately after coating with chocolate, sprinkle some of the chopped peanuts on top. Be fast, as the chocolate will harden quickly! Repeat the process until all of your cheesecake balls are covered in chocolate and peanuts.TipHero Refrigerate the balls until ready to serve.
