I made these Pumpkin Cream Cheese Balls on Sunday. Just for a little sweet treet after lunch and it hit the spot. They take a little time but they are very worth it.
These are not like cake pops but instead a no bake cheesecake in an easy to grab bite size ball. This will take a bit more time than putting it all in one pan but it is so worth it. Great for parties or charcuterie boards with individual bites. The kids sure do love these. They are the perfect size and they love that they’re getting their own individual treat.
I made and tested this recipe since I found a pumpkin cream cheese ball recipe online and it wasn’t done correctly. The blogger used someone’s beautiful photo and then added a recipe to it. I figured the recipe should get done correctly. One thing I know for certain is you always need to use Vanilla Bean Paste. I’m serious it’s a game changer.
