Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Coating
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 8 oz chocolate, for dipping (semisweet or milk chocolate works well)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together the softened cream cheese, pumpkin purée, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined, forming a creamy cheesecake mixture.
- Form the truffles: Scoop the mixture using a small spoon or melon baller and roll it into 1-inch balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the truffles: Refrigerate the cheesecake balls for at least 1 hour to firm up, making them easier to coat with chocolate.
- Coat with graham cracker crumbs: Roll each chilled ball in the graham cracker crumbs until fully coated. Place back onto the tray.
- Dip in chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Set the chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated truffles back on parchment and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, the truffles are ready to be served. Keep refrigerated until serving to maintain firmness.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed nuts or cinnamon on top of the chocolate before it sets.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can substitute pumpkin purée with sweet potato purée for a different flavor twist.
- Be gentle when rolling and dipping to avoid breaking the truffles.
