These Pumpkin Truffles are a delightful treat with a perfect balance of cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Coated in smooth white chocolate, they’re easy to make and a hit at any gathering!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ¾ cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 12 ounces bag of white chocolate chips
- optional: extra graham cracker crumbs or english toffee bits
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until the mixture is creamy.
- Stir in pumpkin puree and cinnamon, mixing until smooth.
- Add finely ground graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix until fully blended; the mixture will be thick.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, placing it on the prepared sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing truffles 2 inches apart.
- Chill the truffles for 20-25 minutes before dipping in chocolate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate chips and microwave, stirring every 10-15 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Remove chilled truffles, dipping each one in melted chocolate using a fork to ensure they're fully coated.
- Gently shake off excess chocolate and place truffles back on the baking sheet using a fork to avoid blemishes.
- Sprinkle English toffee bits or graham cracker crumbs on top while the chocolate is still wet. Let truffles set in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth texture.
For a flavor boost, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or more spices to the mix.
Store truffles in a cool place and they will keep for several days.
