Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese, pumpkin puree and agave nectar until smooth.
Step 2
Mix in graham cracker crumbs, oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Crush gingersnap cookies into small chunks. I like to make sure they are chunkier so that you get little bites of cookie throughout the balls. Fold the cookies into the cheesecake ball batter.
Step 4
Use a cookie scooper to take portions of the cheesecake mixture and place them on a cutting board or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Melt white chocolate and refined coconut oil together in a microwave or on a stovetop using a double boiler until smooth.
Step 6
With clean hands, roll the chilled balls between your hands to make smooth balls. Using a fork, dip each cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Place them back onto the parchment paper lined cutting board or baking sheet.
Step 7
While the white chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle turbinado sugar and flakey salt on top of each cheesecake ball to add extra sweet and salty flavor.
Step 8
Refrigerate until the white chocolate coating hardens, about 1 hours. Once the pumpkin cheesecake balls have set and the white chocolate is firm, they are ready to be served.
