Ingredients
– 2 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
– 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
– 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
– 1 and 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheet graham crackers)
– 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 4 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted
– 10 ounces semi-sweet or white chocolate, coarsely chopped for topping
– Optional garnish: extra graham cracker crumbs or cinnamon/sugar
Instructions
1-Gathering Your Ingredients and Tools: Start by pulling together all the ingredients for your Pumpkin Spice Truffles to keep things organized and fun. You’ll need cream cheese, pumpkin puree, graham cracker crumbs, and spices, along with a mixer and some parchment paper. This step sets the stage for a smooth process, much like prepping for any easy no-bake treat.
Once everything is ready, line your baking sheets to avoid any mess. It’s a simple way to make rolling and dipping easier, helping you focus on the joy of creating something tasty.
2-Mixing the Base: Beat the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar together until they form a creamy base, using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment. This creates a smooth foundation that blends perfectly with the other flavors.
Add the pumpkin puree next and beat on high speed until everything combines nicely. Then, mix in the graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and melted white chocolate on medium speed until the mixture is soft and thick.
3-Chilling and Shaping: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to firm it up, which makes handling much simpler. After chilling, line your baking sheets and roll the mixture into balls, about 1 teaspoon each, to get around 35 truffles.
Chill the balls for another 30 minutes to help them hold their shape. This no-bake method keeps things straightforward and accessible for all skill levels.
4-Coating and Finishing: Melt the coating chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring in short bursts until smooth, then let it cool a bit. Dip each chilled truffle ball into the chocolate, using a tool or fork, and tap off any excess.
Sprinkle on garnishes like extra graham cracker crumbs right away, then refrigerate the dipped truffles for about 30 minutes until the chocolate sets. Serve them chilled or at room temperature for a delightful treat.
