Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the pumpkin balls for at least 1 hour to set.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each frozen pumpkin ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
- Optional: Dust with pumpkin pie spice or cocoa powder before serving for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
For extra texture, try rolling the truffles in crushed pecans or toasted coconut before chilling.
