Ingredients

For the Truffles

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup white chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Form the Truffles

Fold in the crushed graham crackers. Use a small scoop or your hands to form balls of the mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill the Truffles

Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour until firm.

Coat with Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and return to the parchment-lined sheet.

Let Set and Serve

Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate briefly before serving.

Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles!

Storage Tips

To keep your Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, so you can enjoy the flavors of fall well beyond your initial making. Just be sure to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, allowing the chocolate to soften slightly and enhancing their taste.

If you’d like to make them in advance, these truffles freeze well too! Simply place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to enjoy them, just thaw in the refrigerator overnight for a fun dessert any day of the week.

Flavor Variations

While the classic pumpkin spice flavor is always a hit, feel free to experiment with different variations! Consider adding a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of maple syrup to enhance the autumn vibe. For a more decadent treat, dip the truffles in dark chocolate instead of white, offering a delightful contrast in flavor that chocolate lovers will surely appreciate.

You can also infuse these truffles with different flavors by incorporating extracts such as almond or hazelnut. Customizing your truffles allows you to personalize this recipe, making it even more special for your occasions, whether they be holiday gatherings or just an indulgent treat for yourself.

Serving Suggestions

These Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles can be served on their own as bite-sized delights or paired with a selection of other fall treats. Consider offering them alongside spiced apple cider or a pumpkin spice latte for a cozy, themed dessert experience that embodies the essence of autumn gathering.

For an extra touch, you might also think about serving the truffles with some whipped cream on the side, letting your guests enjoy a truly indulgent fall dessert. Whatever your choice, these truffles will complement any seasonal dessert table beautifully!
