Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Truffles
  • 1 package cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 14-16 full sheets
For the Coating
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoother melting

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Gradually add the graham cracker crumbs to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until a dough forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a few more crumbs. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of milk.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Freeze the truffle balls for at least 60 minutes, or until firm.
  5. Melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
  6. Dip each frozen truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, coating completely. You can use a fork or a toothpick to help with dipping. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Let the chocolate set at room temperature, or refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
  8. Store the pumpkin cheesecake truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs. You can also drizzle the finished truffles with melted chocolate or sprinkle them with chopped nuts.
