Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and creamy.
- Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and nuts (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the milk or cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the coated balls back onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-covered cheesecake balls for at least another 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese. You can also add a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice or chopped pecans on top of the chocolate before it sets. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
