Description

These No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are a delightful autumn treat combining creamy pumpkin-flavored cheesecake with crunchy graham cracker and gingersnap crumbs, all coated in a smooth white almond bark. Perfect for holiday parties or any cozy gathering, these bite-sized desserts require no baking and are simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Crust & Coating

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 ½ cups gingersnap crumbs
  • 12 oz white almond bark (for coating)
  • Optional: 1 cup orange candy melts (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Then mix in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is well combined and flavorful.
  2. Add the Crumbs: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and gingersnap crumbs until thoroughly combined. Cover the mixture and chill it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to firm up.
  3. Form Balls: Scoop out the chilled cheesecake mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then chill again for 30 minutes to help them set.
  4. Coat with Almond Bark: Melt the white almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval to ensure smoothness. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted almond bark covering it completely. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper to let the coating set and harden.
  5. Optional Decoration: If desired, melt the orange candy melts and drizzle over the coated balls for a festive touch. Allow the drizzle to set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is very soft for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and flavor.
  • Store these cheesecake balls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a vegan alternative.
  • You can use white chocolate instead of almond bark if preferred.
