Delightful Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles combine the creamy richness of cheesecake with the warm spices of pumpkin pie in bite-sized, sweet treats. These easy-to-make truffles feature a smooth pumpkin cheesecake filling rolled into sugar-coated balls and topped with chocolate chips to look like miniature pumpkins, perfect for fall celebrations or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Coating and Decoration

  • Granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • Chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the butter, softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes well combined, forming a smooth pumpkin cheesecake base.
  2. 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 completely. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring now to enhance the pumpkin color.
  3. Cool the Mixture: Pour the thickened pumpkin cheesecake mixture onto a butter-greased baking sheet and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the mixture to firm up.
  4. Roll the Truffles: Once chilled, apply butter to your hands to prevent sticking and roll the pumpkin cheesecake dough into small balls about the size of a golf ball.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat thoroughly, giving the truffles a sparkling, sweet exterior.
  6. Decorate: Use a toothpick to gently create ridges along the sides of each truffle to mimic a pumpkin’s grooves. Top each truffle with a chocolate chip to resemble the pumpkin stem.
  7. Serve: Serve the truffles immediately or store them in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy for a delicious fall-inspired treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Refrigerate the mixture well before rolling to prevent sticking.
  • Orange food coloring is optional but enhances the pumpkin look.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a firmer texture, chill the truffle balls briefly after shaping before coating them in sugar.
