Pumpkin Pie Truffles

After a heavy Thanksgiving meal, you may not want a whole slice of pie. These pumpkin truffles give you all the flavors of pumpkin pie in a bite-sized dessert. They are easy to grab and light for a sweet treat. The truffles can be made a couple of days ahead of time and covered in chocolate the day of serving.

To make this delicious treat, you’ll need 4 oz. of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, ⅓ of a cup of pumpkin purée, 1 ¾ cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. To cover your truffles, you’ll need 1 ⅔ cups of melted dark chocolate or white chocolate chips and extra graham cracker crumbs for topping.

Start by mixing together the cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until creamy. Add the pumpkin purée and beat on high until combined. Add graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon and mix until combined. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.

Scoop the chilled dough in generous teaspoon amounts, roll into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill the balls for 30 minutes. Dip the truffles into the melted chocolate and place back onto the cookie sheet. Sprinkle with crushed graham cracker crumbs. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
