No-Bake Pumpkin🎃Cheesecake Balls😋

 Ingredients:

 1 cup cream cheese, softened

 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

 1 cup powdered sugar

 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

 1/4 cup melted white chocolate (optional for dipping)

 For the Coating:

 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

 1 tsp cinnamon

 1/4 cup powdered sugar

 Directions:

 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the pumpkin puree. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and well blended. Then, gradually add in the powdered sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

 2. Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is fully incorporated. The dough should be thick but manageable.

 3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help it firm up, making it easier to shape.

 4. Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the mixture, rolling each into a ball shape with your hands. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

 5. In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and powdered sugar for the coating. Roll each ball in this mixture until they are completely covered.

 6. Return the coated balls to the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least an hour. If desired, drizzle or dip them in melted white chocolate just before serving for an indulgent finish.
