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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This step firms up the mixture, making it easier to roll into balls.
  3. Form the Cheesecake Balls: After chilling, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Roll each ball in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly coated, giving a nice crunchy texture to the outside.
  4. Refrigerate Before Serving: Arrange the cheesecake balls on a lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to set. Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, spiced dessert!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if desired.
  • Store leftover cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These cheesecake balls can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • For a festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the balls before refrigerating.
