Filling
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves blend)
- 2 tablespoons bourbon or spiced rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, bourbon (or spiced rum), and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend well until smooth and creamy.
- Form Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out the filling and roll it between your palms to form small bite-sized balls.
- Chill: Place the formed pumpkin pie bites on a lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate them for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to serve.
- Serve: Once chilled, arrange on a serving platter and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth texture.
- The alcohol content can be adjusted or omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a garnish, chopped pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce would complement the flavors nicely.
- Ensure the bites are chilled well to hold their shape during serving.
