Pumpkin Spice Truffles

Print Recipe

These pumpkin spice truffles are a cozy, bite-sized treat that combines creamy pumpkin filling with crunchy graham crumbs and a smooth chocolate shell.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 and 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted
  • 10 ounces semi-sweet or white chocolate, coarsely chopped (for dipping)
  • Optional garnish: extra graham cracker crumbs or cinnamon/sugar

Instructions

  1. Beat the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar together until creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree and beat on high until well combined, approximately another minute.
  3. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and the melted white chocolate. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.
  4. Cover the mixture tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours to firm up.
  5. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to catch any drips during dipping.
  6. Roll the chilled mixture into small balls, about 1 teaspoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, yielding around 35 balls.
  7. Chill the rolled truffles in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to firm them before dipping.
  8. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate for dipping using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before the chocolate sets.
  10. Return dipped truffles to the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
  11. Serve at room temperature or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

Serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor. Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and speed mixing.
