Description
These easy pumpkin pie truffles feature a creamy, spiced pumpkin center wrapped in a crisp shell of white chocolate. Perfect for fall gatherings, gifting, or whenever you crave a bite-sized pumpkin pie treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
- 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1–2 tsp coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
- Festive sprinkles or ground cinnamon (optional, for decorating)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract.
- Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes), scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until thoroughly combined and a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add more graham cracker crumbs as needed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, scoop out portions and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 10-15 minutes, until firm.
- Place white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted. Stir in coconut oil if chocolate is too thick.
- Working one at a time, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Tap off excess chocolate and return to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle with cinnamon or festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Let truffles set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes until firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Chill the truffles thoroughly before dipping to prevent them from falling apart. If the white chocolate is too thick, add coconut oil to thin it. Decorate quickly before the chocolate sets. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, use appropriate substitutes. Store in the fridge for best texture and flavor.
