These no-bake pumpkin truffles are the perfect fall treat! Made with simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes, they’re a delicious way to enjoy pumpkin spice season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
- Chopped pecans or cinnamon sugar, for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or over a double boiler. Stir in coconut oil if using to help with a smoother consistency.
- Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. You can use a fork or a toothpick to help with dipping.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If desired, immediately sprinkle with chopped pecans or roll in cinnamon sugar before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of ground ginger and cloves along with the pumpkin pie spice.
- If you don’t have graham crackers, you can use crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers.
- Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the truffle mixture.
- For a darker coating, milk or semi-sweet chocolate can be used instead of white chocolate.
