Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
10 oz white chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
Optional garnishes: sprinkles, cinnamon, chopped nuts
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
- Beat until well combined and creamy.
- Fold in the crushed graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is thick and scoopable.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll.
- Scoop out small portions of the chilled mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the truffles for another 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- While truffles chill, melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Add coconut oil if desired for a smoother consistency.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Lift with a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optionally, sprinkle with desired garnishes before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Store leftover Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth mixture. If the truffle mixture is too sticky, add a little more graham cracker crumbs. Get creative with your coating! Dark chocolate or milk chocolate can be used instead of white, or drizzle with a complementary flavor. These Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles are a fantastic make-ahead dessert for parties or holiday gatherings. They freeze well too!
