Ingredients
Scale
8 oz cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
1.25 cups graham cracker crumbs (plus more for coating)
0.75 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 cup white or dark chocolate chips (optional, for coating)
Optional garnish: crushed graham crackers, cinnamon sugar, or melted chocolate drizzle
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add pumpkin purée, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. Beat until creamy and fully combined.
Stir in graham cracker crumbs until a thick, scoopable dough forms. Adjust texture with extra crumbs or pumpkin if needed.
Cover and refrigerate for 30–40 minutes until firm enough to roll.
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
Coat each ball as desired: Chocolate: Dip in melted chocolate and let set. Graham: Roll in crushed graham crackers. Cinnamon sugar: Roll in a mix of sugar and cinnamon.
Chill again for 15 minutes if coated in chocolate.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
Adjust graham cracker crumbs based on moisture — add more if too soft.
These freeze beautifully and make excellent edible gifts!
