Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ¾ cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- optional: extra graham cracker crumbs or english toffee bits
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until creamy and smooth.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree and cinnamon at a medium speed until well combined and smooth.
- Add graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix on medium until incorporated and thick, about 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours or longer if needed.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches apart. You should have about 20 truffles.
- Chill for 20-25 minutes before dipping in chocolate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate chips and microwave in 10-15 second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove truffles from the refrigerator and use a fork to dip each one in the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Scrape off excess chocolate from the bottom of the truffle with the fork and place it back on the parchment.
- Repeat the process with remaining truffles and re-dip if necessary for any missed spots.
- Sprinkle English toffee bits or graham cracker crumbs on top immediately. Allow to set until chocolate hardens.
- Return truffles to the refrigerator to fully set before serving.
