Equipment

  • Food processor or rolling pin + bag
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • small cookie scoop (1 tbsp)
  • Baking sheet with parchment
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) canned pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup (120 g) graham cracker crumbs (about 8 sheets)
  • 16 oz (450 g) white chocolate melting wafers or chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • optional garnish: graham crumbs, cinnamon, or semisweet chocolate drizzle

Instructions
 

  • Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or bag and rolling pin.
  • Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar gradually.
  • Stir in pumpkin purée, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until fully combined.
  • Fold in graham cracker crumbs until mixture is thickened and sticky.
  • Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours until firm enough to roll.
  • Scoop and roll into 1 tbsp-sized balls. Freeze for 30 minutes or longer until solid.
  • Melt white chocolate with coconut oil in microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
  • Dip frozen balls into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with graham crumbs, cinnamon, or chocolate drizzle before the coating sets.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes until chocolate is firm before serving.

Notes

Blot pumpkin purée if watery to prevent a loose filling. Chill twice—before rolling and after dipping—for perfect texture. Try coating in dark chocolate for contrast, or garnish with graham crumbs or cinnamon for a festive touch. Store in the fridge or freezer for make-ahead ease.
