Ingredients
Scale
Gathering ingredients for these truffles is as easy as pie—pumpkin pie, to be exact! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- A pinch of salt
Feel free to substitute graham cracker crumbs with ginger snaps for an extra zing, or use dark chocolate if you prefer a richer coating.
Instructions
Let’s get those hands messy and dive into the creation of these truffles. Here’s how:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and has a dough-like consistency.
- Using a small scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated. Return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let the chocolate set by chilling the truffles in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes. Enjoy the process—this is where the magic happens!
Personal tip: If the truffle mixture is too sticky to handle, pop it in the fridge for a bit longer, just like my mom would do when making her famous tomato sauce.
