Ingredients
Scale
8 oz Cream Cheese (Use vegan cream cheese for dairy-free option.)
1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (Ensure it’s pure pumpkin, not spiced filling.)
1 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk (Can substitute with coconut condensed milk.)
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs (Use gluten-free crumbs if needed.)
1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips (Substitute with dark chocolate if preferred.)
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (Can mix your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.)
1 drop Food Coloring (Optional, for festive presentation.)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine cream cheese, pumpkin puree, butter, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir for about 5 minutes until mostly smooth.
Gradually fold in white chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs until fully incorporated, about 3-4 minutes.
If desired, add food coloring to the mixture and mix until the color is uniform.
Spread the mixture on a buttered baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Roll small portions into balls the size of a walnut. If sticky, coat hands with butter.
Roll each truffle in granulated sugar for added sweetness and sparkle.
Use a toothpick to create vertical lines on each truffle for decoration, adding a chocolate chip on top as the stem.
Refrigerate the decorated truffles until ready to serve to maintain shape and flavor.
