How to Make White Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the pumpkin, cream cheese, and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until well blended.

Step 2: Add the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice to the pumpkin mixture. Continue mixing until completely incorporated.

Step 3: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Step 4: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out the truffle mixture and roll into balls, using about one tablespoon of the dough per ball. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5: Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals.

Step 6: Continue to stir between each 30 second interval until all chips are melted and chocolate is smooth.

Step 7: Using a fork or a chocolate dipper, dip each truffle in the melted white chocolate. Once it’s completely covered, move it to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8: If desired, drizzle additional melted chocolate across the top of the truffles and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice. Place the truffles in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden.

Tips & Tricks

• If the melted chips are too thick for dipping, add one teaspoon of vegetable oil or shortening and stir. You can also use Wilton EZ Thin Dipping Aid. Continue adding a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

• If you prefer, you can melt the white chocolate using a double boiler over medium/low heat. You can also use dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate instead of the white.

• For best results, use a cookie scoop to portion the truffles – this will help ensure that they are all the same size.

• Try some ginger snap crumbs or crushed vanilla wafers in place of the graham cracker crumbs. You can give them a few pulses in a food processor to crush them easily.

How Do I Store White Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles?

Store the truffles in an airtight container. They should keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Can I Freeze Them?

Yes – these truffles will freeze well, so feel free to make an extra batch to have on hand. Place them in an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers, and they should keep for up to a month.
