Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (9-inch) pumpkin pie
Coating:
- 1 (16-ounce) vanilla candy coating or almond bark
Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Deconstruct the thoroughly chilled pumpkin pie, separating the filling and crust into fragments. Transfer the mixture to an electric mixer or large mixing bowl, blending on low speed until the ingredients consolidate into a cohesive, moist mass.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the pie mixture into compact spheres approximately each. Arrange the balls precisely on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring minimal spacing between them.
- Chill the formed spheres in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes or refrigerate for 2 hours, allowing them to firm and maintain their structured shape.
- Gently melt vanilla candy coating or almond bark using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until achieving a smooth, glossy consistency. Carefully submerge each chilled pie ball into the melted coating, using a fork to ensure complete and even coverage.
- While the coating remains wet, delicately sprinkle reserved pie crust crumbles over the surface, creating a decorative and textural garnish. Allow the coated balls to rest at room temperature until the candy coating solidifies completely.
- Once set, transfer the pumpkin pie balls to a serving platter or storage container. These delectable treats can be enjoyed immediately or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
