These No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are a deliciously creamy and festive fall treat, combining smooth cream cheese, spiced pumpkin puree, and a crunchy graham cracker coating. Perfect for holiday gatherings or a quick sweet snack without any baking required.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Coating

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Additional pumpkin pie spice for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer or whisk. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the mixture to firm up, making it easier to shape.
  3. Form the Cheesecake Balls: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls.
  4. Coat with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Roll each cheesecake ball in graham cracker crumbs until evenly coated. For extra fall flavor, you can mix a little pumpkin pie spice into the crumbs before rolling.
  5. Chill Again: Place the coated balls on a lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy them chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the powdered sugar with a sugar substitute for a lower sugar option.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to ensure a smooth mixture.
  • For a nuttier twist, try rolling the balls in crushed pecans or walnuts instead of graham cracker crumbs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Let the cheesecake balls sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
