Turn leftover Thanksgiving pie into bite-sized heaven with these No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Balls. A whole new way to enjoy pumpkin pie!
Leftover But Not Left Behind!
“What can I do with leftover pumpkin pie?” I can’t tell you how many times I get this question every holiday. And here I am with the answer! You should make No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Bites. Not only are they perfect for using up uneaten pie, they’re such an easy-to-make, popular treat all on their own!
Pumpkin Perfection
I love cooking and baking with pumpkin. Hint: You should also try my Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls. But the idea of these easy pumpkin pie bites is to use a store-bought pumpkin pie. All wrapped up in candy coating, they’re like little pumpkin pie truffles.
These treats take no time at all (not to mention, no baking, no crust-making, no pumpkin pie spice blending). And everyone loves them!
I also love making pumpkin shaped goodies for the season, like a delicious pumpkin cheese ball. It’s a huge hit at autumn parties.

What Do I Need to Make Pumpkin Pie Balls?
These are great to make with leftover pie. Just use the amount of pie you have to work with! But if you’re working with a whole pie, you’ll need:
- 1 (9-inch) baked and chilled pumpkin pie. Store-bought is great!
- 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla candy coating or almond bark
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
How to Make No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Balls
- Reserve some of the pie crust to crumble on the balls after you coat them in the candy coating.
- Break up chilled pie (filling and crust) into the bowl of an electric mixer.
- Beat on low speed until it all comes together in a moist ball. (You can do this step with your hands in a large bowl as well.)
- Roll the pie mixture into 2-tablespoon sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place pie balls in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Melt candy coating according to package directions in a shallow microwave safe bowl. Dip one pumpkin ball at a time into the melted candy coating and use a fork to turn it around until completely coated. Gently lift the coated pie ball from the candy coating with the fork and let the excess drip back into the bowl.
- Transfer back to the parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with some of the reserve pie crust crumbles. Repeat with remaining pie balls.
- Let pie balls rest until candy coating is completely set.
How to Serve and Store Pumpkin Pie Balls
Serve cold or at room temperature. Store Pumpkin Pie Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be set out for about an hour to serve. Return to the refrigerator after an hour. To freeze, allow candy shell to harden and cool completely. Then place in a freezer safe bag or container and store in the freezer for up to three months.
