Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Coating

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese and Pumpkin: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer set on medium speed. Then add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Continue mixing until the mixture is fully combined and has a creamy, uniform texture.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour. Chilling helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into balls later.
  3. Form the Cheesecake Balls: After chilling, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out about 1-inch sized balls. Roll each ball in your hands to make a smooth sphere, then coat it evenly by rolling in graham cracker crumbs to add a delightful crunchy exterior.
  4. Refrigerate Before Serving: Place the coated cheesecake balls on a lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to set the coating and chill the dessert thoroughly. Serve these chilled for the best creamy texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Organic pumpkin puree is recommended for the best flavor and quality.
  • You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle extra pumpkin pie spice on top before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the balls before chilling.
