Ingredients for No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls

Filling:

🧀 1 cup cream cheese, softened
🎃 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
🍚 1 cup powdered sugar
🍂 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
🍦 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
🍪 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
🍫 1/4 cup melted white chocolate (optional for dipping)

Coating:

🍪 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
🍂 1 tsp cinnamon
🍚 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add in the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is well combined and thickened.

2. Chill the Dough

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up, making it easier to roll.

3. Form the Balls

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough, then roll each portion into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Coat the Balls

In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and powdered sugar for the coating.
Roll each ball in the mixture until it’s evenly coated.

5. Chill and Serve

Place the coated cheesecake balls back in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
For an extra-special touch, dip each ball in melted white chocolate before chilling!

Tips for Making the Best Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls

Chill Thoroughly: Don’t skip the chilling steps! They help the mixture hold its shape, making it easier to roll and coat.
Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture, and real pumpkin puree for authentic flavor.
Chocolate Variation: Dark chocolate makes a deliciously rich coating option if you’re a fan of bittersweet flavor!

Storage Tips

In the Fridge: Keep these pumpkin cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for up to 5 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?
Yes! Just make sure it’s cooked, pureed, and well-drained. Fresh pumpkin can add a little extra moisture, so you may need to add more graham cracker crumbs if the mixture feels too soft.
