Pumpkin Spice Truffles

Creamy and cozy Pumpkin Spice Truffles that are perfect for fall gatherings or anytime you crave a seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 and 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted
  • 10 ounces semi-sweet or white chocolate, coarsely chopped (for dipping)
  • Optional garnish: extra graham cracker crumbs or cinnamon/sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar together until creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree and beat on high until well combined, approximately another minute.
  3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and melted white chocolate.
  4. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until everything is well combined.
  5. Cover the mixture tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours to firm up.
  6. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 teaspoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Chill the rolled truffles in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
  9. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate for dipping using a double boiler or microwave.
  10. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  11. Sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before the chocolate sets.
  12. Return dipped truffles to the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
  13. Serve at room temperature or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother texture. These truffles can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
