Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the truffles
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white—your choice!)
  • A few extra sprinkles of pumpkin pie spice for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Cover the mixture and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop (or your hands) to form truffles about the size of a walnut.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat your chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until completely melted. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice on top. Allow the chocolate to set in the fridge.

Notes

You can use Neufchâtel cheese for a lighter option or dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan version. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen for a month.
