Method

Preparation

Beat together the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl using a mixer until smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree and blend well until fully combined.
Incorporate graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and melted chocolate, mixing until thick and soft.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Shaping

Roll the chilled mixture into balls about the size of a teaspoon, placing them on lined baking sheets.
Chill in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes.

Coating

Melt the chocolate for coating, stirring until smooth.
Dip each truffle in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs or cinnamon-sugar if desired.
Place back on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate to set.

Notes

For an irresistible flavor boost, add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
