Ingredients
For the Truffles
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil optional for melting chocolate

Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Step 2: Gradually add the graham cracker crumbs to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Step 3: Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

- Step 7: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and then roll in additional graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- Step 8: Return the coated truffles to the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15-20 minutes.
- Step 9: Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious no-bake pumpkin cheesecake truffles!
