These Pumpkin Spice Truffles are worth every minute of love that you put into them. Not easy to make, but definitely worth giving it a try. My family loves these magical chocolate and pumpkin balls.
Truffle centers made from pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon and melted white chocolate set in the refrigerator overnight and then dipped in tempered white chocolate with extra graham cracker crumbs for a bit of crunch.
To make Pumpkin Spice Truffles, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large bowl, using a handheld or electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together for about 3 minutes until creamy.
Continue beating on high speed, add the pumpkin and combine.
Lower the beater speed to medium and add graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and melted white chocolate. Mix until soft and thick.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-24 hours.
Line 2 large baking sheets with baking parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside for the balls.
Roll chilled mixture into (1 teaspoon) balls and place on the lined baking sheet, making about 35 balls in total.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours, to chill. If tempering chocolate, do not refrigerate balls.
In the last few minutes of chilling, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, use a medium heat-proof bowl, melt chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. You can also temper the chocolate to melt.
If melted in the microwave, let melted chocolate sit for 5 minutes, to cool slightly, before dipping.
Remove truffle balls from the refrigerator and dip them in the melted chocolate using a dipping tool. Tap the dipping tool gently on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the chocolate truffles, if you wish. Place back on the lined baking sheet.
Place back in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely set.
Serve at room temperature for a few hours of serving then return to the refrigerator.
