Ingredients for This Fall Cheesecake Recipe

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

How to Make These No-Bake Treats

Mix the base: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice; mix until fully combined.
Add the crunch: Stir in the graham cracker and gingersnap crumbs until the mixture is thick and doughy.
Chill out: Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours so it firms up enough to roll.
Roll it up: Scoop out the mixture with a tablespoon or small scoop, rolling into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill again for 30 minutes.
Coat with sweetness: Melt white almond bark in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip each ball, let the excess drip off, and set back on the parchment.
Add a festive finish: Melt orange candy melts and drizzle over the coated balls. Let them set fully before serving.

Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Dessert Bites

Chill thoroughly: The mixture is easier to shape and coat when cold.
Use a scoop: For uniform balls that look bakery-worthy.
Customize the drizzle: Try dark chocolate, caramel, or even crushed nuts.
Go mini: Make smaller balls for bite-sized party snacks.

Olivia’s Cozy Autumn Confession

I made these for the first time on a blustery fall day when baking felt like too much effort but my sweet tooth wouldn’t quit. The moment I dipped the first ball into creamy almond bark and took a bite, I knew they were something special. My kids call them “pumpkin pops” and now insist we make them for every school event and family gathering. They’re festive, foolproof, and fabulous.

What to Serve with Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls

The warm spices pair beautifully with these cozy drinks.
Apple cider: For the ultimate fall pairing.
A dessert board: Serve alongside brownies, cookies, and other no-bake goodies.
As gifts: Wrap a few in cellophane for a homemade treat everyone will love.

How to Store These No-Bake Treats

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Avoid room temp: These are creamy and need to stay chilled to hold their shape.

FAQs

Can I use only graham crackers or only gingersnaps?

Sure! Either one works, but the combo gives a deeper flavor and texture.

Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of purée?

Not recommended. Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar and spices that could throw off the balance.

Can I skip the coating?

You can, but the almond bark adds a sweet crunch and keeps them from getting sticky.

Do they taste super pumpkin-y?

They have a mellow, cozy pumpkin flavor—just enough without being overpowering.
