Ingredients

  • 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (226g) softened
  • 8 oz fat-free cream cheese (226g) softened
  • 1/4 cup Swerve confectioners sugar (36g)
  • 2 Tbsp Swerve granular sweetener (24g) or other sweetener of choice
  • 1 scoop peanut butter cookie protein powder* (32g)
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter powder (16g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 Reese's thins (33g) chopped
  • 1/3 cup Reese's pieces (73g)

Instructions

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the protein powder, confectioner’s sugar, granular sweetener, peanut butter powder, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt; mix again until combined. Then, fold in the chopped Reese’s Cups.
  • Line two pieces of plastic wrap in an “X” and place cream cheese mixture in the middle. Wrap/twist it up, and form it into a ball. Use a twist tie or rubber band to secure and maintain the shape of the ball. Refrigerate for at least one hour. For best results, refrigerate for 2-3 hours (even better if you prep it the night before!)
  • Remove cheese ball from plastic wrap and place in the center of a large platter. Shape and smooth out into a half ball as needed. Then coat the outside of the cheese ball with Reese’s Pieces.
  • Surround the cheese ball with cookies, crackers, fruit and any other dippers that sound good. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*I used PEScience Peanut Butter Cookie to give this cheese ball a more sweet peanut butter cookie flavor. Feel free to use a vanilla flavor or more peanut butter powder in it's place.
