Ingredients
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup crushed pecans or walnuts (for coating)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add in the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until all ingredients are well blended and silky in texture.
2. Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to thicken the mixture.
3. After chilling, using a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll each scoop into a ball, placing them onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Take each ball and carefully dip it into the warm melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then roll it in the crushed nuts for added texture. Place the balls back onto the baking sheet.
5. Set the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the white chocolate to harden and the flavors to meld.
6. Serve the pumpkin cheesecake balls chilled and enjoy as a perfect fall-inspired snack or dessert!
