Pumpkin Pie Bites
A recipe for Pumpkin Pie Bites from the cookbook, Brilliant Bites! These adorable no-bake pumpkin and pie slice-shaped pieces are coated in graham cracker crumbs.
Servings 40 Bites
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 ounce, 227 grams) cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup (95 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (55 grams) canned 100% pure pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (300 grams) fine graham cracker crumbs divided
- 20 semisweet chocolate chips
- 20 white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium until well combined and smooth. (You can also use a hand mixer.)
- Add the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla and beat on medium until well incorporated.
- Stir in 2 cups (240 grams) of the graham cracker crumbs, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup (60 grams) graham cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Scoop half of the chilled mixture into twenty 1 tablespoon-size balls for pumpkin shapes, then roll each ball in the graham cracker crumbs to coat.
- Use a toothpick to make lines around the balls so that they look like little pumpkins, then press a semisweet chocolate chip into the top of each one for the stem.
- Shape the remaining mixture into twenty 1 tablespoon-size wedges that look like pie slices, then roll each wedge in the remaining graham cracker crumbs to coat.
- Top each pie-slice bite with a white chocolate chip for the whipped cream.
- Return the bites to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, until ready to serve.
