As the crisp fall air sets in and the pumpkins start to line the front porches, it’s time to indulge in a treat that captures the essence of the season. These No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are the perfect bite-sized dessert to satisfy your pumpkin cravings. Creamy and flavorful with a hint of spice, these little delights come together with ease—no oven required. With just a handful of ingredients, you’ll create a treat that’s both indulgent and festive, making it the perfect addition to your fall gatherings or cozy nights in.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • Additional crushed graham crackers for coating

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Continue to mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
  3. Gradually fold in the crushed graham crackers using a spatula. Ensure that the graham crackers are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Once the mixture is well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will help the mixture firm up slightly, making it easier to shape into balls.
  5. After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to portion out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Roll it between your palms to form a ball.
  6. Place the formed balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Repeat this process until all the mixture has been shaped into balls.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
  8. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each pumpkin cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
  9. Immediately roll the dipped ball in additional crushed graham crackers to coat it evenly. Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  10. Once all the balls are coated, return them to the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  11. After the chocolate has hardened, your no-bake pumpkin cheesecake balls are ready to serve. Enjoy them as a delightful fall treat or a festive dessert!
