Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 cookie sheet or plate
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 melting pot or microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or fresh
- 1 ½ cups cream cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoothness
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers for rolling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Use a spoon to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled balls on a cookie sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Place the truffles in the refrigerator to set for about 15 minutes.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a melting pot or microwave, stirring in between until fully melted. If desired, stir in coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
- Once the truffles have chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to assist in the dipping process.
- After dipping, place the chocolate-coated truffles back on the parchment-lined cookie sheet. Roll them in crushed graham crackers before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles again for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can customize the coating by using white chocolate or colored chocolate melts if desired.
