These Pumpkin Pie Truffles capture the cozy flavors of pumpkin pie in a bite-sized treat. Creamy pumpkin filling, warm spices, and a white chocolate coating make these truffles perfect for autumn gatherings.
Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree. 1 cups graham cracker crumbs. 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened. 1 cup white chocolate chips. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans optional. 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar for coating.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined. Roll the mixture into small truffle-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to firm up. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted. Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If using chopped pecans, immediately sprinkle a pinch onto the top of each truffle after dipping in white chocolate. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the truffles for a delightful coating. Place the truffles back in the freezer for another 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate. Once the chocolate is set, the pumpkin pie truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
