A Perfect Little Treat That Guests Will Go Wild About

I love the taste of pumpkin. And I noticed I must not be the only one because the last time I went to the grocery store they had a whole section dedicated to pumpkin foods, it was amazing! Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin scones, and pumpkin flavored Oreos were just begging to be put into my cart and taken home.

But I really wanted to make something unique that didn’t require rolling thinly baked sheet cakes around cream cheese filling. Not that I am opposed to that recipe since I made about 4 of those pumpkin logs last year. No, I wanted to treat my family to a new recipe. When I saw this I KNEW I had a winner!

I could make these and put them in the freezer so I didn’t have to spend the day they were arriving in the kitchen. And because these are tidy little bites this makes a perfect little treat after dinner without feeling like we need to break out a big dessert!

This is what Dan of Cakes Cottage has to say about his recipe.

“These pumpkin cheesecake balls are no-bake. They are so easy and taste amazing. Bring them to a party and you’ll be a hero forever!

And You Thought Starbucks Had The Corner On Pumpkin Latte Flavors

I LOVE pumpkin anything! In fact, I love pumpkin flavors so much I decided to make my own puree by starting out with a fresh pumpkin and let me tell you, it was so good. I ended up going back and getting several more baking pumpkins, cooking them up, and putting the puree in freezer bags. They have been in there since last fall and I an anxious to break out a few new pumpkin recipes to celebrate with comfort food time of year!

My mom is usually our pumpkin pie baker. She has the magic touch when it comes to the perfect flaky crusts. If something happens that she doesn’t make dessert we are kind of up the creek without a paddle because I just don’t know if I could pull it off. But having a different dessert that is a bit easier, well that is okay with me. This is like having pie with whip cream all in one dish.

Whether you are using fresh pumpkin or canned puree, you are sure to be a big fan of this no-bake dessert that just screams “Welcome FALL!”

Sorry, I can barely contain my pumpkin obsession!

This is what Kristyn of Lil Luna has to say about this dessert.

“This next dessert is one that EVERY pumpkin lover will enjoy. It’s one of those Layered desserts that everyone devours during the summer time, and I’m calling it Pumpkin Delight! With a pecan layer, cream cheese layer, pumpkin and pudding layer and a Cool Whip layer on top, it’s sure to be a hit at your home!”

Quick Tip: You can make this in an oblong pan or divide it into 2 spring form pans. How is that for being as close to traditional pumpkin pie as you can get?
