Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cheesecake Balls:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- For the Coating:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Once the cheesecake balls are firm, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Roll the coated balls in graham cracker crumbs until fully covered.
- Return the coated balls to the baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- These cheesecake balls can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham crackers for the coating.
- You can substitute the white chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
