Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, and butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly to create a uniform, flavorful base.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the pumpkin mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. Chilling helps the mixture firm enough to shape into truffles easily.
  3. Form the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the fridge for another 15 minutes to set.
  4. Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The chocolate should be smooth and glossy, ready for dipping.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled pumpkin ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to lift and tap off excess chocolate. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate coating has hardened, your Pumpkin Spice Truffles are ready to delight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth and creamy mixture.
  • Mix just until combined to prevent a dense texture.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time for easier shaping and better coating adherence.
  • Warm the white chocolate gently and in short bursts to avoid burning, especially when using a microwave.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container to preserve freshness and texture.
