Description

Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles are a no-bake fall dessert made with creamy pumpkin puree, warm spices, graham cracker crumbs, and cream cheese, coated in sweet white chocolate for a perfect seasonal treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tbsp cream cheese: provides a rich and tangy base
  • 2 tbsp confectioners’ sugar: adds sweetness and smooth texture
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree: brings moisture and classic pumpkin flavor
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs: creates structure and a slight crunch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon: delivers a warm, cozy spice
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg: enhances the pumpkin’s earthy notes
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger: adds a mild heat and freshness
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves: deepens the spice profile
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips: melts to form the sweet outer coating
  • Extra graham cracker crumbs: for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until creamy and smooth.
  2. Add pumpkin puree and continue beating until fully combined.
  3. Mix in graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until a thick dough forms.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours.
  5. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Once chilled, scoop and roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on the baking sheets.
  7. Refrigerate the rolled balls for another 30 minutes.
  8. In a double boiler, melt white chocolate chips, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes.
  9. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate. Let excess drip off and return to the tray.
  10. Sprinkle tops with extra graham cracker crumbs while the chocolate is still wet.
  11. Chill truffles until the chocolate sets completely, then serve.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t skip chilling time – it’s key for shaping and coating.
  • Use a fork to dip truffles for better control and cleaner coating.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
