Description

Pumpkin Pie Balls are a delightful no-bake treat featuring a spiced pumpkin and graham cracker mixture rolled into bite-sized balls, then dipped in creamy white chocolate and chilled to perfection. Perfect for autumn gatherings or a festive snack, these pumpkin-flavored balls combine the warm taste of pumpkin pie spices with the sweetness of white chocolate for an irresistible dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pumpkin Ball Mixture

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

For the White Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Pumpkin Ball Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine canned pumpkin puree, graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients come together into a dough-like consistency that can be shaped.
  2. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch diameter balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This should make about 20 to 24 balls depending on size.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted completely and smooth in texture.
  4. Add Flavor to Chocolate: Stir vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into the melted white chocolate to enhance flavor and balance sweetness.
  5. Coat Pumpkin Balls: Dip each pumpkin ball into the melted white chocolate, making sure it is fully covered. Use a fork to lift the ball out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  6. Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet carefully so the coating doesn’t smudge.
  7. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the coated balls for at least 30 minutes until the white chocolate coating has firmed up and set completely.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and set, serve the Pumpkin Pie Balls cold as a festive and flavorful treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the pumpkin mixture is not too wet to facilitate easy rolling of balls; add more graham cracker crumbs if needed.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in easy removal after chilling.
  • White chocolate can burn easily in the microwave, so heat in short intervals and stir thoroughly.
  • These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan white chocolate chips.
