No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls
Looking for a quick and irresistible pumpkin dessert? These No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are the perfect blend of creamy pumpkin, warm fall spices, and sweet graham cracker coating. They make an easy, bite-sized treat for Thanksgiving, Halloween, or cozy autumn snacking!
Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for coating)
Additional cinnamon-sugar for rolling (optional)
Instructions:
1. Mix the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and fully combined.
2. Chill the Mixture:
Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps firm it up and makes it easier to roll into balls.
3. Roll into Balls:
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
4. Coat the Cheesecake Balls:
Roll each pumpkin ball in graham cracker crumbs. If desired, melt white chocolate chips in the microwave (30-second bursts, stirring in between) and dip the balls. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then re-roll in graham cracker crumbs for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
5. Final Chill:
Arrange the coated cheesecake balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes until set.
6. Serve & Enjoy:
Serve these chilled no-bake pumpkin cheesecake bites as a festive party dessert, holiday snack, or cozy fall treat!
