• Canned pumpkin puree – The star ingredient for pumpkin flavor and color. 🎃

🍪 How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles

1. Make the Truffle Mixture – In a skillet over medium heat, combine butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until thickened and smooth. Add graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips until melted. Mix in food coloring if desired.
2. Thicken the Mixture – Keep stirring until the mixture pulls away from the pan sides and bottom. It’s better too thick than too thin.
3. Chill the Mixture – Spread onto a butter-greased baking sheet. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight until firm.
4. Roll the Truffles – Rub your hands with butter, then roll the chilled dough into small balls.
5. Coat the Truffles – Roll each ball in granulated sugar until fully coated.
6. Decorate – Use a toothpick to add pumpkin-like ridges. Place a chocolate chip on top for the stem.
7. Serve or Store – Enjoy right away or refrigerate until serving.

💡 Tips for Success

• Constant Stirring is Key – Prevents burning and ensures even thickening.
• Chill Thoroughly – Firm texture is essential for rolling.
• Butter Your Hands – Stops the mixture from sticking when shaping.

🆘 Troubleshooting Guide

• Problem: Truffles too soft.
  • Likely Cause: Mixture not thick enough or under-chilled.
  • Solution: Cook a little longer and chill fully before rolling.
• Problem: Mixture sticking when rolling.
  • Likely Cause: Warm hands or no butter.
