Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (use canned or make your own)

8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups white chocolate chips

2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

Additional graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, or orange sprinkles for coating

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Add in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk or stir until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

    Incorporate Graham Crackers: Gradually fold in the graham cracker crumbs, mixing until everything is well combined. The final mixture should be thick enough to form into balls.

      Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring it's airtight, and place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This chilling step helps the mixture to firm up.

        Form the Truffles: Once the mixture is firm, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place each truffle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

            Coat the Truffles: Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

              Add the Coating: Immediately roll the coated truffles in your choice of additional graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, or orange sprinkles before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

                Repeat the Process: Continue dipping and coating the remaining truffles until all are completed.

                  Set the Coating: Once all the truffles are coated, return them to the fridge for another 30 minutes to allow the white chocolate to set properly.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delightful pumpkin spice truffles chilled or at room temperature for the ultimate enjoyment of those warm, festive flavors!
