Description

Delightfully easy and festive, these No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Balls are a perfect bite-sized treat combining the flavors of classic pumpkin pie with a smooth vanilla candy coating. Made using a baked pumpkin pie and coated in creamy vanilla almond bark, these balls are perfect for holiday gatherings or any time you crave a sweet pumpkin dessert without the hassle of baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Mixture

  • 1 (9-inch) baked and chilled pumpkin pie (store-bought is ideal)

Coating

  • 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla candy coating or almond bark

Instructions

  1. Reserve Pie Crust: Carefully break off some of the pie crust from your baked pumpkin pie and set it aside. These reserved crust pieces will be crumbled on top of the pie balls later for added texture and flavor.
  2. Prepare Pie Mixture: Break the chilled pumpkin pie, including filling and crust, into chunks and place them in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on low speed until the mixture comes together into a moist, cohesive ball. If you don’t have a mixer, you can mix with your hands in a large bowl.
  3. Form Balls: Using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per ball, roll the pumpkin pie mixture into small, even-sized balls. Place these balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up.
  4. Melt Candy Coating: Following the package directions, melt your vanilla candy coating or almond bark in a shallow bowl, being careful not to overheat or burn the coating.
  5. Coat Pie Balls: Dip each chilled pie ball individually into the melted candy coating. Use a fork to turn and ensure each ball is completely covered. Lift the ball with the fork and allow the excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
  6. Garnish and Set: Transfer the coated pie ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet. While the coating is still wet, sprinkle generously with the reserved crumbled pie crust. Repeat with remaining balls. Let the coated pie balls rest at room temperature until the candy coating sets completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use a fully baked and completely chilled pumpkin pie to create firm balls that hold their shape.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, try using a spice pumpkin pie or adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the candy coating before it sets.
  • The reserved pie crust crumbles add a lovely texture contrast; omit only if you want a smoother finish.
  • Keep the pie balls refrigerated if not serving immediately as the cream filling may soften at room temperature over time.
  • These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
