pumpkin spice balls
(3 ratings)
Upon looking for the ultimate red velvet cookie yesterday I came across these lil cuties! I thought with everyones love of cake balls...I had to try them. (Here's to JoAnne and her new obsession) It starts out with a pumpkin bread recipe...which you ultimately destroy and mix with cream cheese. Who thought of this cake ball idea anyway??? Today, after these sat overnight, they taste much better...they take on sort of thick pumpkin pie texture...

How To Make pumpkin spice balls
-
1Preheat oven to 350. Mix pumpkin and sugars together until fluffy. Add one egg at a time, mixing after each addition. Then add oil and vanilla, continue to mix.
-
2Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Alternate adding dry ingredients with buttermilk to pumpkin mixture. Beginning and ending with flour mixture. Pour into buttered or sprayed large loaf pan. Bake 45-55 minutes.
-
3When done, remove from oven to cooling rack, after 5 minutes remove bread from pan and allow to cool on rack until completely cool. (I broke it open in chunks so it'd cool faster)
-
4Once completely cooled put in food processor and process until completely crumbled. You can do this by hand too, (but I discovered the processor works so well for this.) Dump crumbs into large bowl, add cream cheese and work together (hands work best) until completely combined. Roll mixture into 1" balls approx. place on wax paper lined baking sheet. Place in freezer for 1 hour.
-
5Melt chocolate over double boiler. Dip balls and place on wax paper to dry completely. Store in air tight container in the refrigerator... I used white chocolate chips instead of baking chocolate, as I didn't have any baking choc.
