Description

These No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and spiced pumpkin flavor in bite-sized treats. With a simple, no-bake preparation, they are an ideal dessert for fall gatherings or whenever you crave a quick, seasonal treat without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup crushed walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the cream cheese, and mix well until fully combined.
  3. Gradually stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture thickens and can be easily rolled into balls.
  4. If using, fold in crushed nuts and white chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop out a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  6. Arrange the pumpkin cheesecake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake balls to set and firm up.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  1. To make these gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers or substitute with gluten-free cookie crumbs.
  2. For extra sweetness, dip the pumpkin cheesecake balls in melted chocolate or drizzle with caramel.
  3. If you prefer more spice, add more cinnamon or a pinch of cloves.
  4. For a dairy-free version, substitute dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate chips.
  5. Store the cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
