Description
Pumpkin Truffles are perfect for fall treats! These cute, pumpkin-shaped truffles are made with pumpkin puree, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk, then coated in sugar for a delightful bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Orange food coloring (optional)
- Granulated sugar (as needed, for coating)
- Chocolate chips (for topping, as stems)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Stir the mixture over medium heat until well combined and thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add White Chocolate and Graham Cracker Crumbs:
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add orange food coloring as desired, then continue stirring until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking sheet and spread it evenly.
- Let it chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Shape the Truffles:
- Once firm, coat your hands with butter to prevent sticking and roll the mixture into small balls.
- Coat and Decorate:
- Roll the truffle balls in granulated sugar to coat.
- Use a toothpick to press ridges into each truffle to resemble a pumpkin.
- Place a chocolate chip on top of each truffle to create the “pumpkin stem.”
- Chill and Serve:
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a decorative touch, consider using green chocolate chips for the stems or drizzle the truffles with melted chocolate.
