Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree
- 2 cups (200g) crushed gingersnap cookies
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (2g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp (1g) vanilla extract
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (15g) coconut oil
- 1 tbsp (5g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup (30g) chopped pecans
Instructions:
- Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Fold in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually stir in the crushed gingersnap crumbs until the mixture is thick and holds its shape.
- Cover and refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling and roll it between your palms to create a smooth sphere; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the truffles for 15 minutes to prevent them from melting during the coating process.
- Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each burst until velvety.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the chocolate, lifting it out and gently tapping the fork to remove excess coating.
- Immediately sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or a few chopped pecans onto the wet chocolate.
- Let the truffles set at room temperature for 10 minutes or refrigerate for a quicker set.
