Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups white or dark chocolate chips (for coating)
- Optional: crushed graham crackers, cinnamon, coconut oil (for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Mix the filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add crumbs: Stir in graham cracker crumbs until a thick, doughy mixture forms.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes.
- Form truffles: Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Freeze briefly: Freeze shaped truffles for 15–20 minutes to firm.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring between. Optional: Add 1 tsp coconut oil for a smoother coating.
- Dip and coat: Use a fork or dipping tool to coat truffles in melted chocolate. Return to tray and top with crushed graham cracker or cinnamon if desired.
- Set and store: Chill truffles in the fridge until the chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
For a firmer center, freeze truffles before dipping. These are great for gifting and holiday platters. Use white chocolate for a sweeter twist, or dark for a more intense contrast.
