Description
Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles are creamy, spiced, and shaped like little pumpkins. The perfect fall dessert for parties, holidays, or cozy nights at home.
Ingredients
For the Truffle Filling:
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
-
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
-
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
-
½ cup graham cracker crumbs
-
⅓ cup white chocolate chips
-
Orange food coloring (optional)
For Coating & Decorating:
-
Granulated sugar (for rolling)
-
Chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
-
Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, combine butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until thickened and smooth.
-
Add Mix-Ins: Stir in graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips until melted and incorporated. Add food coloring if desired.
-
Chill: Spread mixture onto a butter-greased baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
-
Roll Truffles: Rub butter on hands, scoop, and roll into golf ball–sized truffles.
-
Coat & Decorate: Roll in sugar, use a toothpick to create pumpkin-like ridges, and press a chocolate chip on top for a stem.
-
Serve: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
-
For extra sweetness, dip truffles in melted white chocolate instead of sugar.
Make ahead! These truffles taste even better after resting in the fridge overnight.
Switch it up: dust with cinnamon sugar or cocoa powder for variety.
