Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually mix in 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Mix until fully combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mixture to firm up.
- Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Using a fork or skewer, dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle your favorite toppings like crushed nuts, cinnamon sugar, or festive sprinkles.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
- Once set, transfer the cheesecake balls to a serving platter or store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
Notes
[‘Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing.’, ‘Chill the mixture long enough to make rolling easier.’, ‘Stir white chocolate frequently while melting to avoid clumping or burning.’, ‘Lightly dust hands with powdered sugar if the mixture sticks while rolling.’]
