How To Make pumpkin-cream cheese truffles

Transfer to a large bowl and add gingersnap crumbs, pumpkin, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, zest, salt and cream cheese. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Transfer to a sallow bowl, cover and chill until just solid enough to roll into balls. About 2 hours.

Roll 1 heaping teaspoon of pumpkin mixture into a ball in your hands, then drop it into chocolate. Working quickly, gently spoon chocolate over to coat. Using a small spoon or fork, lift truffle out of chocolate and transfer to prepared sheet tray. Dollop a bit of extra chocolate on any parts that remain exposed.
