Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 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
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and has a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour. This step helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into balls.
- Form the Balls: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the chilled mixture into approximately 1-inch balls. Roll each ball generously in graham cracker crumbs to coat the outside completely.
- Refrigerate Before Serving: Place the coated cheesecake balls on a lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy these pumpkin cheesecake balls chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if desired.
- For a festive touch, drizzle melted white or dark chocolate over the balls before refrigerating.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- These balls can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
