Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls are an incredible fall dessert! Cheesecake is my favorite treat and I love pumpkin flavored food, so this combination is amazing! They are super easy to make and they will be a big hit with family and friends. I will be adding these to my Thanksgiving dessert table next to our favorite Peanut Butter Balls! I had an extra bag of Wilton’s Pumpkin Spice Candy Melts (from when I made Pumpkin Spice Brownie Pops), and since I love cheesecake so much that I could eat it everyday, I wanted to blend these two delicious flavors into bite sized treats! They are super yummy and my kids and I LOVE them!!!
Ingredients
- 10 oz Bag of limited edition Wilton Pumpkin Spice Candy Melts
- 17 oz Cheesecake I used Sara Lee Cheesecake Original Cream Classic
Instructions
- Take spoonfuls of cheesecake and roll them into balls
- Place them on parchment paper lined baking sheet
- Place in freezer for 30-60 minutes
- While the balls are in the freezer, melt the candy melts
- Dip each ball in the melted candy with a fork and let the excess candy drip off
- Place the balls back on parchment paper
- After dipping each ball in the candy, enjoy immediately or place back in the freezer
- (If the cheesecake balls get too soft while you are dipping the others, place them back in the freezer until they are firm)

Philadelphia cream cheesecake filling in a tub (in cream cheese area at store) may work well, too.

Where can I buy this stuffs. What stores to make this.
Julie E says
Usually stores like Michael’s and Joann’s carries Wilton candy melts. If you don’t see them there, you can find them online on the Wilton website.

Go to your nearest craft store. … like Joann fabrics and crafts

Instead of using a fork for dipping use a toothpick.

I found the candy melts at Wal-Mart just last week.
Ginger says
Do you defrost the cheesecake first or make balls with it straight from the freezer? Thanks!
Kathy Scigliano says
ok thx
Kathy Scigliano says
the cheesecake is so soft I cant even shape it- any suggestions
Stacey says
Kathy, Try putting the cheesecake back in the freezer for awhile to get it firm again, then shape them. Mine were not perfectly shaped balls, so roll them as best as you can.

I may have to search for the Pumpkin Spice Candy Melts, I haven’t seen them in the Candy Melts aisle, but my son will absolutely love these.
