Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles combine the rich, creamy flavors of pumpkin cheesecake with a sweet and crunchy coating, creating a festive fall treat. These no-bake truffles are shaped like pumpkins and topped with a chocolate chip stem, making them perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any autumn gathering.

Ingredients

For the Truffle Filling:

1 tablespoon butter

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup canned pumpkin puree

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

½ cup graham cracker crumbs

⅓ cup white chocolate chips

Orange food coloring (optional)

Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Chocolate chips (for topping)

Optional Variations:

Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg

Chocolate drizzle or crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, combine the butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes well combined.
  2. Add Graham Crackers and White Chocolate:
    • Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate melts. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring.
  3. Cool the Mixture:
    • Once thickened, pour the mixture onto a butter-greased baking sheet. Spread it into an even layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until firm.
  4. Roll the Truffles:
    • Once chilled, rub butter on your hands to prevent sticking and roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  5. Coat the Truffles:
    • Roll each truffle in granulated sugar to coat, giving it a sweet, sparkly finish.
  6. Decorate:
    • Use a toothpick to create ridges on the sides of each truffle to mimic a pumpkin. Top each truffle with a chocolate chip for the stem.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

For added sweetness, drizzle melted chocolate over the truffles for a decadent touch.

If you prefer a different coating, you can roll the truffles in crushed graham crackers or nuts.

To make these truffles dairy-free, substitute with dairy-free cream cheese and coconut condensed milk.
