Learn how to make delicious Pumpkin Pie Truffles. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted
  • Crushed pecans or graham cracker crumbs for topping (optional)

If you’re like me and enjoy a bit of experimentation, feel free to swap out the white chocolate for dark chocolate, or add a dash of cayenne for a spicy twist. You can also use gluten-free graham crackers if needed.

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add in the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt. Mix until you have a dough-like consistency. If the mixture feels too soft, add a bit more graham cracker crumbs.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Once the truffles have chilled, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  5. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Place them back on the parchment paper.
  6. Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle with crushed pecans or graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
  7. Refrigerate the truffles for another 15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Remember, the key to a beautiful truffle is patience. Allowing them to chill properly ensures that each bite is a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
