Description

Pecan Pie Balls are a delightful no-bake treat that combines the rich, buttery flavor of pecans with a creamy, sweet filling. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch from the nuts, enveloped in a smooth, velvety texture that melts in your mouth, reminiscent of traditional pecan pie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Base:
    • 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
    • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Filling:
    • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
    • 1/4 cup maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Coating:
    • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
    • 1/4 cup melted chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the cream cheese mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined.
  4. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Roll each ball in the chopped pecans to coat evenly.
  6. If desired, dip the coated balls in melted chocolate for an extra layer of flavor.
  7. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
