Keto No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Bites Recipe
When I first made these little bites back in 2021, I had no idea what to even call them. Were they cheesecake bites? Pumpkin pie bites? I was experimenting with short recipe videos at the time, trying out quick, simple recipes that were easy to make (you know, for real life) and perfect for keto. I knew I wanted something with all the cozy fall vibes, and these definitely delivered, but I couldn’t quite land on a name that captured just how tasty and effortless they were.
Fast forward a few years, and I started noticing something—I kept seeing this recipe getting saved over and over again. It wasn’t even on my blog, just hanging out on my social media, and yet people loved it! I knew this recipe needed a permanent home on my blog, where I could give it the attention it deserves, including a more in-depth, step-by-step breakdown.
So here we are, revisiting this pumpkin bites recipe, but this time with a proper spotlight! I wanted to make sure everything was crystal clear—from the ingredients to the simple mixing process—because it’s just one of those recipes that deserves to be in everyone’s keto recipe arsenal, especially when fall rolls around.
Just look at the color!
Ingredients for Keto No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Bites
The ingredients for this pumpkin bites recipe are super simple and easy to find—nothing fancy, just a few pantry staples that come together for the perfect fall treat.
Bites Ingredients
- Cream cheese – This is the base that gives these bites that rich, creamy texture. Make sure it’s softened so it mixes easily. If you need a dairy-free option, you could try using a plant-based cream cheese, though it might slightly change the texture.
- Nut butter – The nut butter adds flavor, healthy fats, and a bit of structure to the bites. You can use any kind—almond, peanut, or even cashew butter. If you’re avoiding nuts, sunflower seed butter works just as well. That’s actually what I used when I originally made this back in 2021. Tastes amazing! Make sure there is no added sugar and it’s just 100% nuts or seeds. Sea salt is okay, though.
- Granulated sugar-free sweetener – This gives the bites their sweetness without the carbs. I like using a granulated sweetener like or Monk fruit, allulose or a blend of both. If you prefer a different sugar substitute, like stevia, just make sure to adjust the amount to taste, since sweetness levels can vary. If you don’t care about carbs, you can use anything you like to sweeten these, but I would stick to a granulated version. I used Lakanto’s Classic.
- Pumpkin purée – This adds that signature pumpkin flavor and a touch of moisture. Make sure you’re using pure pumpkin purée, not the pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugars. If you don’t have pumpkin on hand, sweet potato purée could work in a pinch, though it’ll alter the flavor slightly and more carbs. I often use Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin, or the store brand’s organic version.
- Pumpkin spice – This is where all the warm fall flavors come from. You can either use a pre-made pumpkin spice blend or mix your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. No pumpkin spice? Cinnamon alone will still give you a cozy flavor.
Coating Ingredients
For the coating, we’re using a simple mix of granulated sugar-free sweetener and pumpkin spice. It adds a nice little crunch and extra fall flavor to the outside of each bite. If you want to switch it up, you could even roll these bites in crushed nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut!

Frequently Asked Questions about Keto No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Bites
1. Can I use a food processor to mix the ingredients? Yes, you can definitely use a food processor for this recipe! It’ll make the mixing process quicker and give you a super smooth texture. Just make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so everything blends easily.
2. How should I store these pumpkin bites? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh. If you’re making a big batch, you can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container and enjoy them later. They’re perfect for a quick grab-and-go snack!
3. Can I substitute the nut butter? Absolutely! You can use creamy peanut butter, almond butter, or even sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option. Just make sure you’re using a creamy nut butter for the best texture, and no added sugar if you care about carb content.
4. Can I add anything to the bites for extra nutrition? For a healthy boost, you can add chia seeds or ground flaxseed meal to the mixture. These wholesome ingredients add fiber and healthy fats without changing the taste too much.
5. What’s the best way to shape these bites? Use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to form the bites, then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet before chilling.
6. How long will these last in the fridge or freezer? In the fridge, they’ll last about a week, but if you freeze them in a freezer-safe container, they’ll stay good for up to 3 months. Just let them thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
7. Can I use something other than pumpkin purée? Pumpkin purée is what gives these bites their signature fall flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, you can try using sweet potato purée or even homemade pumpkin purée if you have leftover canned pumpkin from other pumpkin recipes. Sweet potato purée will add more carbs.
8. Are these bites a good healthy snack option? Definitely! These bites are low in carbs, full of healthy fats, and use a sugar-free sweetener, making them a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth while sticking to a keto lifestyle.
