Pumpkin Pie Balls are a delightful bite-sized treat made by shaping chilled pumpkin pie filling into balls, dipping them in a smooth vanilla candy coating, and finishing with a sprinkle of pie crust crumbs. Perfect as a festive dessert or party snack, these no-bake bites combine the classic flavors of pumpkin pie with a fun, portable twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Mixture

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

Coating

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

Instructions

  1. Reserve crust crumbs: Carefully set aside some of the pie crust from the pumpkin pie to use later as a crunchy topping for the pie balls after they are coated.
  2. Form the pie ball mixture: Break up the chilled pumpkin pie, including filling and crust, into a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on low speed until the mixture comes together into a moist, cohesive ball. Alternatively, mix the pie pieces together by hand in a large bowl to achieve the same result.
  3. Shape pie balls and chill: Roll the pie mixture into approximately 2-tablespoon sized balls. Place these balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill them in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 2 hours to firm up.
  4. Melt coating and dip: Melt the vanilla candy coating or almond bark according to package instructions in a shallow bowl. Using a fork, dip each chilled pie ball into the melted coating, turning to completely cover it. Lift the ball out, allowing excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
  5. Decorate and set: Transfer each coated pie ball onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with the reserved pie crust crumbs to garnish. Repeat this dipping and decorating process for all the pie balls.
  6. Let set: Allow the coated pie balls to rest at room temperature until the candy coating hardens completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use a store-bought pumpkin pie for convenience or your favorite homemade recipe for a personal touch.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, try dipping the pie balls in chocolate candy coating instead of vanilla.
  • For an extra festive appearance, consider drizzling melted chocolate or adding colored sugar sprinkles after coating.
  • Store the pie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Let the candy coating set completely at room temperature to avoid condensation making the coating sticky.
