Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.75 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs for coating
  • 0.5 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped for coating
  • 1 stick cinnamon stick for the pumpkin stem

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. Beat until fully combined and creamy, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Refrigerate the mixture until slightly firm, about 20 minutes, to make shaping easier.
  • Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Gather the wrap and shape into a ball. Chill until firm enough to handle, about 40 minutes more.
  • On a plate, combine graham cracker crumbs and chopped pecans. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll in the crumb mixture to coat evenly.
  • Press a cinnamon stick into the top as a stem. Optional: use the back of a spoon to create gentle vertical grooves for a pumpkin look.
  • Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. Remove from the fridge 10 minutes before serving for easier spreading.

Notes

Great with gingersnaps, graham crackers, pretzels, or sliced apples and pears. For a brighter orange color, you can add a few drops of orange gel food coloring. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
