The most delicious bite-sized cheesecake treats

It is always a good time for pumpkin treats, and it is most definitely always a good time for cheesecake. Put the two together, and you have a dessert that is an absolute must!

I’m so excited to be sharing this pumpkin pie cheesecake balls recipe. Between the graham crackers, white chocolate, and pumpkin, it is a mouthwatering treat that everyone will love. Not to mention the mixture is formed into small bite-sized balls, making it a grab-and-go dessert!

These cheesecake bites are perfect for fall (which will be here before we know it), but they also make a wonderful dessert any time of year.

Ingredients used in pumpkin pie cheesecake balls

The ingredients in pumpkin cream cheese balls are just what you’d expect in a cream cheese dessert — a mix of pumpkin, pumpkin, and more pumpkin! Oh, and also some graham crackers and white chocolate. YUM.

  • Cream cheese: The base of pumpkin pie cheesecake balls is made with cream cheese. You will need 1 8oz block of light cream cheese, softened.
  • Pumpkin puree: Add pumpkin flavor with the addition of 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree.
  • Graham crackers: From there, you will need 10 graham crackers. They will be finely crushed in a food processor.
  • Powdered sugar: Add sweet flavor and contribute to the texture of the cheesecake balls with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
  • Pumpkin pie spice: Add more pumpkin flavor with 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Salt: All sweet treats need a bit of salt! Use a tiny pinch.
  • Vanilla: Next, add 1/2 tsp of vanilla.
  • White chocolate: Finish off the bites with 2 cups of white chocolate!
  • Toppings: Optionally add a topping consisting of additional crushed graham crackers. It makes the perfect final touch!

Tools you’ll need to make pumpkin cheesecake balls

To make pumpkin pie bites, you will need a food processor, a large mixing bowl, a stirring utensil, a baking sheet or large plate, and a microwave-safe bowl. For measuring out ingredients, grab 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup sized measuring cups.

How to make pumpkin cream cheese cake balls

This no-bake recipe takes only about 15 minutes of prep time. From there, most of the work happens in the freezer!

To begin, blend the graham crackers in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.

Then, use a large mixing bowl to combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar.

Once combined, add the pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla.

Freeze the mixture for 1 hour.

Once chilled, roll into about 20 balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet or plate and freeze for another 30 minutes.

Next, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir between each 30-second cycle.

Once the chocolate and oil are melted together, coat each ball in the mixture. Top the balls with extra crushed graham cracker, and then return to the refrigerator to harden.

Additional topping ideas

Because we’re coating these cheesecake balls in white chocolate, toppings are great! They’ll stick easily, and the freezer will help them stay in place. Here are some extra ideas!

  • Crushed caramel or butterscotch chips
  • Crushed white chocolate chips (because you can never have too much white chocolate)
  • Sprinkles
  • Caramel drizzle
  • Crushed pretzels

How to store cheesecake balls

Cheesecake balls should be stored in the refrigerator and enjoyed within 3-4 days. Keep them sealed in an airtight container to lock in the delicious flavors!

If you want to enjoy these at a later date, feel free to freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours prior to eating.

If you liked this recipe, you’ll want to try these!

Are you someone who loves to jump into fall as early as possible each year? If so, these pumpkin recipes are perfect for your upcoming dessert lineup, and some of them even work for breakfast!

    Omg these are soooo good! And easy. I love the crunch from the white chocolate. Perfect pumpkin flavor.. next time I’ll do more white chocolate and faster since it dries up pretty quick. Highly recommend!!! 😋
