Description

These No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are a festive, bite-sized treat that combine the creamy richness of cheesecake with the warm, spiced flavor of pumpkin. Coated in a smooth layer of white chocolate, they are the perfect dessert for autumn gatherings or a quick sweet snack.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup vanilla wafer crumbs (or up to 1 ½ cups if needed)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup white chocolate, melted

For the Coating:

  • 2 cups white chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well combined.

  2. Add the Wafer Crumbs:
    Gradually stir in the vanilla wafer crumbs until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency. You may need to adjust the amount of wafer crumbs, adding up to 1 ½ cups if the mixture is too wet.

  3. Melt the White Chocolate:
    Melt ½ cup of white chocolate (for the filling) in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Add it to the filling mixture and combine thoroughly.

  4. Shape the Balls:
    Use a spoon or your hands to form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. Chill:
    Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.

  6. Coat the Balls:
    While the balls chill, melt the 2 cups of white chocolate for the coating. Once the balls are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork or spoon to help coat the balls evenly and let any excess chocolate drip off.

  7. Set the Coating:
    Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper and refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes or until the coating is fully set.

  8. Serve:
    Once the coating has hardened, the No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are ready to serve! Enjoy these creamy, spiced treats for a festive fall dessert.

Notes

  • Store the cheesecake balls in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top after coating with white chocolate.
