Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz white or dark chocolate (for dipping)

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Mini marshmallows (for s’mores style)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and creamy.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to firm up, which makes it easier to shape the truffles.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the chilled mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  4. Dip in Chocolate: Melt the white or dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Dip each truffle carefully into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off before placing back on the parchment paper.
  5. Add Toppings and Set: Immediately sprinkle your chosen toppings before the chocolate hardens. Refrigerate the truffles for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly before shaping to get clean and firm truffles.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for dipping to achieve a smooth, shiny finish.
  • Keep hands cool or wet when rolling truffles to prevent sticking.
  • For thicker chocolate shells, dip the truffles twice, allowing each coat to set fully.
