How to Make No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll. Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and chopped nuts (if using). Roll each pumpkin cheesecake ball in the graham cracker mixture until fully coated.
Place the finished balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set before serving. Enjoy these delicious No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls!
Tips:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle some melted chocolate over the balls before serving.
Substitutions and Variations:
- Use flavored cream cheese (like cinnamon) for an extra twist.
- Substitute the graham cracker crumbs with crushed vanilla wafers for a different taste.
- Add a dash of maple syrup for added sweetness in the filling.
Make a Healthier Version:
