No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls combine creamy pumpkin cheesecake with fall spices, coated in white almond bark and optional orange candy melts for a festive and delicious treat.

Ingredients

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar

2/3 cup (160 g) pumpkin purée

1 tsp (5 ml) pumpkin pie spice

1 1/2 cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs

1 1/2 cups (150 g) gingersnap crumbs

12 oz (340 g) white almond bark, for coating

Optional: 1 cup (160 g) orange candy melts, for drizzle

Instructions

  1. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat together until smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Add the crumbs: Gradually stir in the graham cracker crumbs and gingersnap crumbs, mixing until the mixture is firm enough to hold its shape when rolled.
  3. Form the balls: Using your hands, roll the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Coat in almond bark: While the cheesecake balls are chilling, melt the white almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl, following the package instructions. Once melted, dip each cheesecake ball into the white almond bark, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined tray.
  6. Optional drizzle: If you’d like, melt the orange candy melts according to the package instructions and drizzle over the coated cheesecake balls for a festive touch.
  7. Chill again: Return the cheesecake balls to the refrigerator to set the coating for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

These cheesecake balls are best served chilled. Leave them at room temperature for a few minutes if you’d like to soften the coating.

For a vegan version, use non-dairy cream cheese and plant-based candy melts.

Freeze these cheesecake balls for up to 3 months if you’d like to make them ahead.

Feel free to skip the candy coating and enjoy the cheesecake balls with just the crumb coating.

Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to your taste, or add additional spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or clove.
