As far as I’m concerned, the arrival of fall is cause for celebration. Always. And what better way to welcome it than with a truly lovely treat, like these Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles? They’re no-bake, simple to create, and couldn’t be more adorable! (They also taste like the perfect pumpkin pie in a single bite — spiced and not too sweet, with a tiny graham cracker crumb for texture.)

These would be ideal for a Halloween party, a school fall festival, or your Thanksgiving table. They’re festive, yet simple enough to create for any autumnal event (or non-occasion). Simply whisk together some pumpkin puree, pie spice, butter, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a pot until it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides to produce your pumpkin mixture.Then, mix in some white chocolate and graham cracker crumbs to give the truffle substance.

(After all, you don’t want to bite into mush.) Spread the mixture on a sheet pan and chill it for two hours before rolling (literally). To make the pumpkins, grease your hands with butter and scoop out a little amount of the pumpkin mixture…… and roll it in sugar after rolling it into a ball.To make the ridges of a pumpkin, gently roll a toothpick around the outside of the ball. Repeat until you’ve gone around the entire sphere.

Finally, garnish with a chocolate chip stem.If you’re not going to serve these right away, cool them first, but otherwise, bite right in.If you can stand it. They’re so cute that it’s difficult to destroy them, but after you bite into one, you won’t feel so horrible. They’re as tasty as they are adorable!
