Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once you shape them all, it's time to dip. Melt some white chocolate in a bowl. Take each truffle and dip it into the chocolate. Use a fork or toothpick for this. Let any extra chocolate drip off. Place the dipped truffles back on the sheet. If you want, drizzle more melted white chocolate over the top. You can also roll them in chopped nuts or shredded coconut for a fun touch. Finally, let the truffles set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden.

Sprinkle some pumpkin pie spice or cocoa powder around them. This makes for an inviting display that will impress your guests. {{image_2}} You can change the taste of these truffles with spices. Try adding cinnamon or nutmeg. These spices add warmth and extra flavor. You can also add a pinch of salt for balance. If you love chocolate, mix in cocoa powder for a richer taste. Feel free to experiment with flavors like orange zest or almond extract. Each change can give your truffles a unique twist. The coating can also change how your truffles taste. Instead of white chocolate, you can use dark or milk chocolate. This gives you a different sweetness level. For a fun texture, roll the truffles in sprinkles or crushed nuts. You can also use shredded coconut for a tropical vibe. These coatings add color and interest to your treats. You can mix and match to find your favorite combination. Making vegan or dairy-free truffles is easy. Replace cream cheese with vegan cream cheese or cashew cream. Use dairy-free white chocolate for coating. Check labels to ensure it's truly dairy-free.

When you are ready to eat them, thaw them in the fridge overnight. These truffles are best served cold. If you prefer them warm, you can gently warm them. Place a truffle in the microwave for about five seconds. Check to see if it's warm enough. Be careful not to melt the chocolate too much. Serve them on a nice platter, and enjoy the blend of pumpkin and chocolate flavors. Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin. Just make sure to cook and puree it first. Fresh pumpkin can add a nice flavor.
