Ingredients You Will Need
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Baking Fun
1. Mix the Creamy Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and well combined. Itโs like creating a little pumpkin dream in your bowl! Then, refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This helps it become easier to handle.
Once chilled, scoop out small portions and roll them into delightful little balls. Each ball will soon become a sweet treasure!
2. Coat with Graham Crackers
Next, roll each ball in graham cracker crumbs until fully coated. Picture the crunchy layer wrapping around the sweet pumpkin goodness. This step adds a fun texture, adding to the cozy feel of these truffles.
3. Dip in White Chocolate
Now, letโs melt the white chocolate chips! Use a microwave-safe bowl, heating them gently and stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting them get a beautiful, glossy coating. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to set.
Allow the truffles to cool completely before serving. Enjoy this delicious treat that feels like a warm celebration of fall!
How to Serve Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles in Style
These delightful bites can be served on a decorative platter, making them the star of the dessert table. You can place them in mini cupcake liners for an adorable touch. They also make great gifts; just box them up with a cute ribbon!

Can I freeze Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles?
Definitely. Just place them on a tray to firm up, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Theyโll keep for up to 3 months. When youโre ready to enjoy, let them thaw overnight in the fridge. They taste just as creamy and delicious as the day you made them.
Whatโs the best chocolate for coating?
White chocolate gives the truffles that sweet, candy-shop vibe, but milk or dark chocolate work too. Dark adds richness, milk makes them extra sweet. Just melt slowly and stir often so your chocolate stays smooth and glossy. If you want a pro tipโadd a teaspoon of coconut oil for an easy dip.
Can I make these in advance for a party?
Absolutely! These are perfect for prepping ahead. Make them 2โ3 days before your event and store in the fridge in an airtight container. Theyโll still be perfectly creamy and fresh. In fact, the flavors even deepen a little after a day or two, making them even tastier.
What if my truffle mixture is too soft?
No stress. Just pop the mixture back in the fridge for 20โ30 minutes to firm up before rolling. If itโs still too sticky, add a spoonful of graham cracker crumbs to thicken it. Easy fix, and your truffles will hold their shape beautifully.
