Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- Orange food coloring, as needed (optional)

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine the butter, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir constantly until thickened and blended well.
- Add graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate chips, mixing until melted and smooth.
- If desired, add food coloring to enhance color. Cook until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Pour onto a butter-greased baking sheet and spread evenly. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
- Rub butter on hands to prevent sticking and roll chilled mixture into small balls.
- Roll truffle balls in granulated sugar to coat.

- Serve right away or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easier blending. Experiment with different coatings like crushed nuts or sprinkles.
