Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 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 (or red and yellow food colorings), as needed, optional
- Granulated sugar, as needed, for rolling
- Chocolate chips, for topping
Instructions
- Combine the butter, cream cheese, pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice in a skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened and well-combined. Stir in the graham crackers and white chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Add a few drops of food coloring if desired.
- Continue to stir until the pumpkin cheesecake mixture releases from the sides and bottoms of the pan when stirred. If in doubt, cook a bit longer– it’s better to be thicker than too thin.
- Pour over a butter-greased baking sheet. Spread into an even layer and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours, or overnight.
- Rub butter on your hands to prevent sticking and then roll the chilled pumpkin cheesecake dough into small balls.
- Pour granulated sugar into a shallow bowl and roll the truffle balls in granulated sugar to coat.
- Using a toothpick, make ridges along the sides of the pumpkin truffles. Top with chocolate chips to look like stems. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Sweetened condensed milk is key for thickening the dough.
- Make sure to chill the dough for easier rolling into balls.
- You can decorate the truffles with chocolate chips resembling stems.
