Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Beat the cream cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky texture.
  2. Add flavorings and mix: Incorporate the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice into the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up, making it easier to form into balls.
  4. Form balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out the mixture and shape into 1-inch balls with your hands.
  5. Coat with graham cracker crumbs: Roll each cheesecake ball in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly coated for added texture and flavor.
  6. Chill before serving: Arrange the coated balls on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is well softened for easier mixing.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor; canned pumpkin works well too.
  • You can adjust the pumpkin pie spice to taste, adding more for extra warmth.
  • For a festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the balls before chilling.
  • Store the cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
