Description
Delightful bite-sized truffles filled with creamy pumpkin cheesecake and encased in a luscious chocolate shell, perfect for fall gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Shape the mixture into bite-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and shake off excess before returning to the parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle crushed graham cracker crumbs or sea salt on top.
- Chill again for about 30 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling. Don’t skip the chilling steps to maintain the shape of the truffles.
