Description
These Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles are the perfect no-bake fall dessert, combining creamy cheesecake, spiced pumpkin, and graham cracker crunch in one bite. Great for Thanksgiving treats, Halloween party desserts, or edible gifts. Easy, quick, and festive.
Ingredients
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate or candy melts (optional, for coating)
2 tbsp chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin puree and softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add the powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
3. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs using a spatula. If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
4. Scoop the mixture using a cookie scoop or melon baller and form into truffle balls.
5. Optionally, dip each truffle in melted white chocolate or drizzle for decoration.
6. Press a chocolate chip into the top of each truffle to resemble a pumpkin stem.
7. Chill the truffles on a parchment-lined tray for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for best consistency.
Chill the mixture before shaping if it’s too soft to handle.
For a fun twist, substitute gingersnaps for graham crackers.
