Description

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (2 ounces or 55 g) cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 Tablespoons (15 g) confectioners sugar
• 1/3 cup (80 g) pumpkin pureé
• 1 and 3/4 cups (175 g) graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheet graham crackers)
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 10 ounces (283 g) semi-sweet or white chocolate, coarsely chopped
• Extra graham cracker crumbs or cinnamon

Directions

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together cream cheese and confectioners sugar until creamy. Add pumpkin pureé and beat on high until combined. Add graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, mix on medium speed until incorporated (2 minutes). The mixture should be thick and smooth. Refrigerate dough for at least 3 hours (or up to 24 hours).
• Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Scoop chilled dough in generous teaspoon amounts and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet and chill the balls for 30 more minutes.
• Five minutes before you take the balls out of the refrigerator, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 20 second intervals (tips for melting chocolate here ). Let the chocolate sit for a minute or two to cool slightly.
• Remove pumpkin pie truffles from the refrigerator and dip them one at a time into the melted chocolate. When lifting the truffle out of the chocolate, tap the dipping tool gently on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
• Place balls back onto the baking sheet after you dip each one. Immediately sprinkle with crushed graham cracker crumbs. Allow chocolate to completely set in the refrigerator before serving. Truffles are okay at room temperature for a few hours for serving.
