How to Make No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls (Step-by-Step)

1. Mix the Base

In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, pumpkin purée, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Graham Cracker Crumbs

Stir in graham cracker crumbs until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is too soft, add more crumbs 1 tbsp at a time.

3. Chill

Refrigerate the mixture for 30–45 minutes, until firm enough to roll.

4. Roll Into Balls

Use a cookie scoop to portion dough and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Coat

Dip chilled balls in melted chocolate OR roll in cinnamon sugar. (White chocolate + pumpkin = perfection!!)

6. Chill Again

Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes or until the coating is set.

7. Enjoy!

Serve cold or at room temperature.
