Instructions
Preparation
Start by taking your cream cheese out of the fridge and letting it sit until it's soft. Then, in a large bowl, use a mixer or a spatula to beat the cream cheese until it's smooth.
Once the cream cheese is smooth, add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix everything together until it's creamy and fully combined.
Cover your bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the fridge. Let it chill for about 1 hour.
After chilling, take a small cookie scoop or a spoon and scoop out some of the mixture. Roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball (about 1 inch).
Roll your pumpkin cheesecake balls in graham cracker crumbs until they are fully coated.
Place the coated balls on a lined baking sheet and pop the baking sheet into the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serving
These pumpkin cheesecake balls can be served on a decorative platter for parties or in small cups for individual servings, optionally garnished with whipped cream or extra pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
To store pumpkin cheesecake balls, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze them with layers separated by parchment paper. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
