These deliciously addicting melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin pie truffles are made with a spiced pumpkin cheesecake filling that’s smothered in rich, dark chocolate!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, coarsely chopped, melted
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of fine sea salt
- 2 cups dark chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add cream cheese and confectioners' sugar and beat until creamy.
- Melt the 1/2 cup of the white chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat or in the microwave for about 1 minutes.
- Stir often to keep the chocolate from burning.
- Transfer to a large bowl, add pumpkin puree and beat until combined.
- Add the gingersnap cookie crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt.
- Beat until everything is combined.
- Cover and chill until just solid enough to roll into balls, about 2 hours.
- Shape mixture into balls (about 1 teaspoon per ball) by rolling a spoonful in the palm of your hand.
- Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until firm again.
- Melt 2 cups dark chocolate in small, deep bowl. (Its depth makes it easier for dipping the truffles).
- Dip the pumpkin truffles into the chocolate and place on parchment paper.
- Garnish with reserved gingersnap/graham crumbs before the chocolate sets up.
- Let chocolate set, refrigerate and enjoy!
- These can also be frozen for longer storage.
