These No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are creamy, spiced, bite-sized fall treats that come together with no oven required. Made with pumpkin purée, cream cheese, crushed cookies, and cozy spices, they’re easy to prep, fun to decorate, and perfect for dessert trays, parties, or make-ahead snacking.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or gingersnap cookies
  • Optional Coatings:
  • Melted white or dark chocolate
  • Crushed cookies
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add pumpkin purée, powdered sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Stir in crushed cookies until mixture is thick and scoopable.
  4. Chill the mixture for at least 1 hour, until firm.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls with your hands.
  6. Roll or dip each ball in your choice of toppings.
  7. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill again until set, about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Gingersnaps add a spicier bite, while graham crackers give a classic cheesecake flavor.
  • Add-ins like mini chocolate chips, finely chopped nuts, or a drizzle of caramel can dress them up.
  • To make the mixture firmer for dipping, chill longer or add extra crushed cookies.
  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduce powdered sugar slightly.
