🥗 Ingredients (tap to check off)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 3/4 cup Pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
- 1.25 cups Graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed)
- 1.5 cups Gingersnap cookie crumbs (finely crushed)
- 12 oz White almond bark or premium white chocolate chips / melting wafers
- 1 cup Orange candy melts (for drizzle)
- 1 tbsp Festive autumn sprinkles or extra graham cracker dust (optional)
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Beat the Cream Cheese Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until completely smooth, light, and creamy.
Add Pumpkin & Autumn Spices
Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Beat on low speed just until uniformly blended into a velvety orange spiced cheesecake mixture.
Fold in the Cookie Crumbs
Stir in the finely crushed graham cracker crumbs and gingersnap cookie crumbs with a sturdy silicone spatula until a thick, cohesive, scoopable dough forms.
Scoop, Roll & Freeze
Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll between your palms into smooth 1-inch balls. Place the balls in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes until solid and chilled.
Dip in White Chocolate
Melt the white almond bark or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each burst until silky smooth. Using a dipping fork, lower each frozen truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, tap off the excess, and return to the parchment paper.
Drizzle, Garnish & Set
Melt the orange candy melts and spoon into a small ziplock bag; snip the tiny corner tip and drizzle decorative orange zigzags across each truffle. Immediately garnish with autumn sprinkles or spiced cookie crumbs. Refrigerate for 10 minutes until set and enjoy chilled!
🍰 Storing & Chilling Desserts
Refrigeration: Keep covered in an airtight container or under a cake dome in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
Serving Tip: For the richest flavor and silkiest mouthfeel, allow refrigerated bakes to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
