These No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Balls are a delightful, bite-sized twist on traditional pumpkin pie, perfect for holiday parties or anytime you crave a sweet, creamy treat without turning on the oven. Made from crumbled baked pumpkin pie mixed into balls and coated in smooth vanilla candy coating, these festive desserts are easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Balls

  • 1 (9-inch) baked and chilled pumpkin pie (store-bought or homemade)

Coating

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pie Crust Crumbles: Reserve some of the pie crust by breaking off small pieces from the baked pumpkin pie before mixing, to use as a crunchy topping for the coated balls.
  2. Mix Pie Filling and Crust: Break up the entire chilled pumpkin pie, including filling and crust, into a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture forms a moist, cohesive ball. Alternatively, mix by hand in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Shape the Balls: Roll the pie mixture into approximately 2-tablespoon-sized balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the balls by placing the sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes or the refrigerator for 2 hours to firm up.
  4. Melt Candy Coating: Melt the vanilla candy coating according to package directions in a shallow bowl, ensuring it is smooth and ready for dipping.
  5. Coat the Pie Balls: One at a time, dip each pie ball into the melted candy coating. Use a fork to turn the ball around until fully coated, then lift it out and let excess coating drip off. Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet and immediately sprinkle with the reserved pie crust crumbles. Repeat this process for all the pie balls.
  6. Set the Coating: Allow the coated pie balls to rest at room temperature until the candy coating has completely hardened and set, making them ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use a store-bought 9-inch pumpkin pie for convenience or make your favorite homemade pumpkin pie and chill thoroughly before use.
  • If you prefer, substitute vanilla candy coating with white chocolate bark or colored candy melts for a festive touch.
  • To avoid mess, work with cold pie balls straight from the fridge or freezer when dipping.
  • Store pie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they keep well for up to 3 days.
  • Pie crust crumbles can be omitted if you want a smoother finish, or substitute with crushed gingersnap cookies for extra flavor.
