Ingredients

• 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• ⅓ cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
• ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar (or zero-calorie sweetener, if preferred)
• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup finely crushed graham crackers or unsweetened shredded coconut (for coating)

Instructions

1. Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, pumpkin, powdered sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Beat with a hand mixer or stir vigorously until smooth and well combined.

2. Add the Crumbs
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency.

3. Chill the Mixture
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps the dough firm up for easy rolling.

4. Roll the Balls
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls using your hands. Coat each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs or shredded coconut for a finished touch.

5. Serve or Store
Enjoy right away, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
