Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating Ingredients

  • 12 oz white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pumpkin-spice mixture for about 1 hour. This helps it firm up so it’s easier to form into truffles.
  3. Shape into Balls: Once chilled, scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them between your palms to create 1-inch round balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the white chocolate chips until smooth and glossy, stirring regularly to avoid scorching.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Dip each pumpkin ball into the melted white chocolate, coating evenly. Use a fork to lift them out and tap off any excess chocolate. Return coated truffles to the parchment paper.
  6. Let them Set: Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending and better texture.
  • Chill the mixture before shaping and after coating for the best consistency.
  • Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning and maintain a shiny finish.
  • Adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste, starting with 1 teaspoon for balanced warmth.
  • Experiment with coatings such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, or different chocolates for variety.
