3/4 cup (85g) powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin purée, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the graham cracker or gingersnap crumbs, mixing until fully incorporated. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coating chocolate or candy melts, adding neutral oil if desired to thin. Stir until smooth.
Dip each pumpkin cheesecake ball in the melted chocolate, coating evenly, and return them to the baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with extra crumbs or festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

You can customize the toppings or use different flavored coatings based on your preference. Keep the cheesecake balls stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
