No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles Delightful Treat
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 4 cup toasted pecans, finely chopped (for coating)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Gradually add in the graham cracker crumbs, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. You may need to use your hands towards the end for better incorporation.
- Refrigerate the truffle mixture for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Once chilled, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Repeat this step until all the mixture is rolled into balls.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Immediately roll the chocolate-coated truffles in the chopped toasted pecans for an extra crunch and flavor.
- Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
💡 Chef's Notes
Arrange the truffles on a decorative plate and dust lightly with cinnamon sugar or place them in mini cupcake liners for a festive look.
