08 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling

4 teaspoons unsalted butter, for shaping
10 -
12 semi-sweet chocolate chips, for decoration
→ Optional

A few drops orange food coloring
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir consistently with a rubber spatula until the mixture thickens and combines into a smooth consistency.
02 -
Fold in the graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is evenly combined. If a more vibrant orange is desired, mix in a few drops of orange food coloring.
03 -
Transfer the cooked mixture onto a baking sheet greased with butter and spread it into an even layer. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until firm.
04 -
Rub a small amount of butter on your hands to prevent sticking. Scoop portions of the chilled mixture and roll into balls approximately the size of a golf ball.
05 -
Roll each ball in granulated sugar until fully coated. Using a toothpick, gently press ridges along the sides of each truffle to create a pumpkin-like shape. Place a chocolate chip on top of each truffle to resemble a pumpkin stem.
06 -
Arrange the finished truffles on a serving platter and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For best results, ensure the mixture is fully chilled before rolling to maintain optimal texture and prevent sticking.
02 -
Decorate truffles just before serving for the freshest appearance.
