Ingredients

– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup pumpkin puree
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
– 1/2 tsp ground ginger
– 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
– Optional: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or additional spices for decoration

Instructions

Creating these Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles involves a few simple steps:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until smooth and well combined.

2. Incorporate Graham Crackers: Gradually add in the graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture is thick enough to hold together.

3. Form the Truffle Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Chill: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until firm.

5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

6. Dip the Truffles: Remove truffles from the refrigerator. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.

7. Decorate: Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle crushed nuts or sprinkles on top for added flair.

8. Chill Again: Place the chocolate-coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set.

9. Serve: Once hardened, your Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles are ready to be served.
