Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles Recipe
Ingredients
For the Truffle Filling
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips
- Orange food coloring (optional)
- Granulated sugar (for rolling)
- Chocolate chips (for topping)
Directions
- Cook the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, combine the butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes well combined. - Add Graham Crackers and White Chocolate:
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate melts. If you’d like to add color, add a few drops of orange food coloring at this stage. - Cool the Mixture:
Once the pumpkin cheesecake mixture has thickened, pour it onto a butter-greased baking sheet. Spread it out into an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until firm. - Roll the Truffles:
Once chilled, rub butter on your hands to prevent sticking, and roll the pumpkin cheesecake dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. - Coat the Truffles:
Roll the truffles in granulated sugar to coat them. This gives the truffles a nice sparkle and adds a little sweetness. - Decorate:
Use a toothpick to create ridges along the sides of each truffle to give them a pumpkin-like appearance. Top each truffle with a chocolate chip to resemble the pumpkin stem. - Serve:
Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to serve.
