Reply to comment by drewismynamea in [homemade] Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cheese Ball by stayawayfrommeinfj

It’s cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, peanut butter, and chopped Reese’s cups. I think cheese balls are a Midwest thing 😂

I was imagining just a ball of cheddar at the center of this...

Wait, brunost is a thing outside of the Nordics?

Ha ha. No. It’s not a thing outside Norway afaik.

But I buy it in London.

TheThreeMuscleteers t1_j8d4ira wrote

It's sort of a thing in Sweden and Denmark as well, not sure about Finland. Just had no idea it was available anywhere else, the more you know.

It’s not actually available in London, I think I’ve seen it at one cheese store and mostly at the scandi shop.

I made a savory one for new years. It was cream cheese, cheddar, ranch and bacon

Yeah see, thats something along the lines of whay I'm familiar with. Only had it tried it once ir twice. Never even considered a dessert cheeseball, that's awesome.

Yeah, the "cheese" and not "cream cheese" threw us. Sounds really interesting and tasty.

MorriePoppins t1_j8cs843 wrote

Maybe a Southern thing, too. We know all cheese balls are not savory!

EDIT: absolutely flabbergasted by the number of replies that are either unfamiliar with dessert cheese balls or with cheesecake as a concept in general lol

What is the delivery system for the “cheese”? Cookies?

Nm: you mentioned it’s nilla wafers or Graham crackers.

Woah woah woah the Midwest does not claim this godless creation as a Michigander this is definitely something a Wisconsinite would do

Wisconsin is definitely part of the Midwest. So is Michigan. I’m from Minnesota and have family in Iowa and we enjoy cheese balls!

Does it basically taste like a cheesecake mixed with Reese's?

InnocentTailor t1_j8fi1zr wrote

This is more acceptable. I was thinking of…you know…other types of cheese.

I’m from Chicago and I’ve never heard of a cheese ball like that

Peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and chopped Reeses sounds good.

But with cream cheese? No, thank you.

I mean to each their own but peanut butter cheesecake is pretty banger, sounds extremely similar in taste profile, especially since OP said graham crackers were the dipping tool

remberzz t1_j8bwnmt wrote

Is peanut butter cheesecake an actual thing?!?? Yuck!!

−25

kupofjoe t1_j8bwy8e wrote

Yes…even a lot of grocery stores will sell a variety cheesecake in their bakery section with a slice of classic, a slice of oreo or chocolate, a strawberry or cherry slice, and a peanut butter slice. Very typical flavor.

You may have had other sweet desserts where cream cheese was a key ingredient without realizing it. Ever had red velvet or carrot cake? The white frosting is cream cheese frosting.

remberzz t1_j8c5bve wrote

Hmmm. Now I have interesting questions to explore. I love plain cream cheese. I would eat it just by itself. But I don't like fruit cream cheeses because I don't like sweetness mixed with it.

I adore carrot cake, but usually scrape off the frosting. Again not caring for the sweet cream cheese.

Not a fan of red velvet.

I make peanut sauces at home using peanut butter. I might use soy sauce, honey, ginger or any combination.

But alas, I still can't imagine peanut butter and cream cheese. No tangy peanut butter and no sweet cream cheese. I'm going to leave that for the rest of you.

Pay the price for what? To go to college for free, have my healthcare and retirement taken care of for me and my family for the next 80 years after retiring at 38 in a cushy tech job that the government paid for to train me in?

Oh the humanity.
