Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
Coating
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Form the truffles: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter for easy snacking.
- Coat the truffles: Roll each ball gently in the graham cracker crumbs until fully coated, giving the truffles a nice crunchy exterior that complements the creamy interior.
- Chill: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and develop flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Pumpkin puree can be canned or homemade, but avoid pumpkin pie filling which contains added sugars and spices.
- For added flavor, consider rolling truffles in cinnamon sugar or crushed nuts instead of graham crumbs.
- Store the truffles covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Allow truffles to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for a softer bite.
