Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Crust Mix
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 ½ cups gingersnap crumbs
Coating
- 12 oz white almond bark (for coating)
- Optional: 1 cup orange candy melts (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Then mix in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice thoroughly until evenly combined.
- Add the Crumbs: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and gingersnap crumbs into the cheesecake mixture. Mix well until fully combined. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to firm up.
- Form Balls: After chilling, scoop out the cheesecake mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Return the sheet to the refrigerator and chill for another 30 minutes to help them set.
- Coat with Almond Bark: Melt the white almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted white almond bark to coat completely. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper and allow the coating to set completely at room temperature. Optionally, melt orange candy melts and drizzle over the set balls for decoration.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Store finished cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a firmer coating, refrigerate the coated balls after dipping.
- Optional candy melt drizzle adds a festive touch but can be omitted.
