No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are creamy, spiced treats made with pumpkin purée, cream cheese, and crushed cookies. Coated in cozy fall flavors, these bite-sized desserts are easy to prepare, perfect for entertaining, and taste just like pumpkin cheesecake—without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed gingersnaps
- 1 cup white chocolate or candy melts (optional, for coating)
- Crushed cookies, cinnamon sugar, or pumpkin spice (for rolling)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, pumpkin purée, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the crushed graham crackers or gingersnaps until the mixture thickens.
- Chill the mixture for 30–60 minutes until firm enough to roll.
- Form tablespoon-sized portions into balls using your hands or a small scoop.
- Roll each ball in crushed cookies, cinnamon sugar, or pumpkin spice. Optionally, dip in melted white chocolate or drizzle on top.
- Place finished balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use Oreos, vanilla wafers, or Biscoff cookies for variety.
- Roll in chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Add a splash of maple syrup or bourbon for added depth.
- Use dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan option.
- Drizzle white chocolate instead of coating fully for a lighter touch.
