Creating No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls is simple! Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.

2. Add Pumpkin: Mix in the pumpkin puree until well combined with the cream cheese.

3. Sweeten It Up: Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.

4. Spice It Up: Add the pumpkin spice and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture is smooth and flavorful.

5. Combine Crumbs: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs (reserve some for rolling later) until the batter becomes thick.

6. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, allowing the dough to firm up.

7. Roll into Balls: Once chilled, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands.

8. Coat the Balls: Roll each ball in the reserved graham cracker crumbs (and nuts if desired) until completely coated.

9. Chill Again: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another hour, or until firm.

10. Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler and drizzle over the chilled cheesecake balls before serving.
