Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup powdered graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup coconut flour**
  • 2 cups 70% dark chocolate chips see notes

Instructions

  • Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy
  • In a blender or food processor, crush the graham crackers into fine, almost flour like texture, and measure out 1 cup of crumbs
  • To the cream cheese mixture, add the pumpkin, graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and coconut flour** and beat to combine
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper
  • Use a mini cookie scoop or two spoons to drop around 22 small balls onto the wax paper lined sheet. Note here - the batter is sticky and I do not recommend using your hands. Do not worry at all about the shape of the truffles right now, as they will be shaped further before dipping. I found the mini cookie scoop perfect for this
  • Chill the pumpkin cheesecake balls in the fridge for 1 hour, until firm
  • Melt the chocolate chips until smooth
  • Make each truffle by first picking up a ball, rolling it in your palms to fix any shape imperfections
  • Drop the truffle into the chocolate, and use a fork to get it out, then tap off any excess chocolate
  • Use a toothpick to help you slide the truffle back onto the baking sheet, then top it immediately with powdered sugar on the top
  • Repeat with the remaining pumpkin cheesecake balls
  • Once done, refrigerate the cheesecake balls for at least 1 - 2 hours, or until totally firm
  • Store leftover pumpkin cheesecake truffles in the fridge in an airtight container

Notes

The filling in these truffles is very sweet, so I used a richer not as sweet chocolate for the coating (I used 70% chips). For a sweeter shell, use semisweet chocolate chips or any chocolate chips that you have on hand
** If you do not want to use coconut flour, you can add more crushed graham crumbs instead
