Instructions
Creating Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Blend Cream Cheese and Pumpkin: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
3. Stir in Graham Crackers: Fold in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Form the Truffles: Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
6. Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth.
7. Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off.
8. Set on a Baking Sheet: Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Chill Again: Once all truffles are coated, return them to the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles are ready to be served!
With these easy steps, you’ll create an incredible treat that everyone will love.
