Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Coating

  • 6 oz white or dark chocolate, melted

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts)
  • Graham cracker crumbs (gluten-free if needed)
  • Extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • Mini chocolate chips (for mixing in or drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Creamy Pumpkin Mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly until you have a creamy, well-incorporated blend with a hint of warm autumn spices.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to firm up. This step ensures the truffles hold their shape when rolled.
  3. Shape into Truffles: Scoop small portions of the chilled mixture and roll them by hand into uniform, bite-sized balls. Keep your hands cool or chill the mixture longer if it feels too soft for easier handling.
  4. Coat with Chocolate: Gently melt the white or dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Dip each truffle fully into the melted chocolate, then place on parchment paper to set.
  5. Add Optional Toppings and Final Chill: Before the chocolate coating hardens, sprinkle the truffles with optional toppings like chopped nuts, cinnamon, or graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate the truffles again to allow the chocolate to firm completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother mixture and better texture.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly to help truffles keep their shape.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes and a professional look.
  • Have all toppings ready before dipping truffles, as chocolate sets quickly.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
