Method

Melt 1/2 cup of the chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat or in the microwave for about 1 minute.


Stir often to keep the chocolate from burning. Transfer to a large bowl.


Add gingersnap crumbs, pumpkin, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, zest, cinnamon, salt and cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.


Transfer to a shallow bowl, cover and chill until just solid enough to roll into balls, about 2 hours.


Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.


Melt remaining 2 cups chocolate and transfer to a small, deep bowl.


Roll 1 heaping teaspoon of the pumpkin mixture into a ball in your hands, then drop into the chocolate.


Working quickly, gently spoon chocolate over to coat.


Using a small spoon or fork, lift the truffle out of the chocolate, shake off excess and transfer to prepared baking sheet.


Dollop a bit of extra chocolate on any parts that remain exposed, then sprinkle a few gingersnap or graham cracker crumbs over the top, if you like.


Repeat process with remaining pumpkin mixture and chocolate, then chill truffles until chocolate is completely set, about 1 hour.
