No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bites
Creamy, no-bake pumpkin cheesecake bites rolled in graham cracker crumbs or dipped in white chocolate, an easy, oven-free Halloween party treat with warm pumpkin spice flavor.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Hand mixer
- Small cookie scoop
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs for rolling
- 8 oz white chocolate melting wafers optional, for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute, until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Add the powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat on low, then medium speed for 1-2 minutes until fully combined and smooth.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes, until firm enough to shape.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mixture into 24 balls, rolling each briefly between your palms if needed. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roll each ball in graham cracker crumbs to coat, or dip in melted white chocolate and set back on the parchment.
- Refrigerate the finished bites for at least 1 1/2 hours, until firm to the touch, before serving.
Notes
If the mixture feels too soft to scoop even after chilling, freeze it for 10-15 minutes rather than adding more powdered sugar. Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
