These easy no bake pumpkin balls take just a few minutes to make and are the perfect pumpkin treats for the fall season! They taste almost like little bites of pumpkin pie or and cheesecake combined into one tasty treat!
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, or just a large bowl if you’re using a hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until they are light and creamy, for about 2-3 minutes.
4 oz cream cheese, 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
Next mix in the pumpkin puree, 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. Mix together until everything is fully combined. Then add in the second cup of graham cracker crumbs and mix again. This should help you avoid having crumbs!
1/3 cup pumpkin puree, 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Then put plastic wrap or tin foil over the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. Longer is better but 30 minutes at least a must.
After the dough is done chilling, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Using a small spoon or a tablespoon make 1 tablespoon balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.Refrigerate the dough again for at least 30 minutes.
Microwave the white chocolate chips in a medium microwave safe bowl on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat this process again until the white chocolate chips are completely melted.
2 cups white chocolate chips, 1-2 tsp coconut oil
Dip the refrigerated pumpkin balls into the melted chocolate chips by using a fork or a candy dipper. Tap the fork on the bowl to get rid of any excess chocolate. Once the pumpkin balls are dipped, place them back on the parchment lined baking sheet to allow them to set.
Drizzle the rest of the melted chocolate over the truffles and sprinkle the sprinkles or leftover graham cracker crumbs directly onto the drizzles.
Place the finished balls in the fridge, about 20 to 30 minutes, for a little to make sure they are completely hardened.
Transfer to a serving dish or platter and serve immediately!

Remove however many you want to eat and let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours before enjoying chilled.If you use graham crackers to make graham cracker crumbs, make sure they are processed down to fine crumbs without large pieces!
