Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham crackers, crushed into fine crumbs
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, canned pumpkin, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the spice level if needed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the filling for 20-30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
- Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
- Roll each ball in the crushed graham crackers or your chosen topping until fully coated. Place them on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the coated balls for at least 1 hour before serving so they firm up nicely.
Notes
Chilling the filling before rolling is essential to prevent stickiness. Experiment with different coatings like crushed pecans, white chocolate drizzle, or cinnamon sugar for variety.
