Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Sweetener:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate softened cream cheese and peanut butter, leveraging a hand mixer or robust spatula to create a silky, homogeneous blend.
- Progressively introduce powdered sugar, incorporating it thoroughly after each addition to establish a cohesive dough consistency.
- Monitor the mixture’s texture, adjusting with additional powdered sugar if the blend appears excessively tacky or lacks structural integrity.
- Utilize clean palms or a compact cookie scoop to transform the dough into uniform spherical formations, aiming for approximately one-inch diameter globes.
- Delicately position each crafted sphere onto a parchment-lined tray, ensuring minimal contact between the orbs.
- Transfer the prepared tray to the refrigeration unit, allowing the peanut butter spheres to solidify and mature for a minimum of thirty minutes.
- Once chilled, extract the delectable morsels and serve immediately, presenting a delightful no-bake confection that marries creamy and sweet nuances.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese completely at room temperature to ensure smooth, lump-free blending with peanut butter.
- Use a sturdy spatula or hand mixer for consistent mixing, avoiding overmixing which can make the texture dense.
- Adjust powdered sugar gradually to control sweetness and achieve the perfect dough consistency for rolling.
- Chilling balls helps maintain shape and intensifies flavor, making them a perfect make-ahead treat for quick snacking.
