Description
These Pumpkin Truffles boast delightful flavors of pumpkin and spices, combined with creamy white chocolate. Perfect for festive gatherings or as a sweet treat any time.
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 white chocolate chips
- optional: extra graham cracker crumbs or English toffee bits for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, and beat until smooth.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree and cinnamon until well combined.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs and pumpkin pie spice, mixing until the dough is thick and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 1-inch ball, placing each on the baking sheet two inches apart, until all dough is used, yielding about 20 truffles.
- Chill the truffles for 20-25 minutes before dipping in chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-15 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Remove the truffles from the fridge and dip each one in the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Scrape off excess chocolate and gently place truffles back on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with English toffee bits or graham cracker crumbs before they fully harden, if desired.
- Refrigerate the truffles to set before serving. They can sit at room temperature for a few hours.
Notes
The truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Feel free to use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for dipping.
For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the truffle mixture.
