Decadent Pumpkin Pie Truffles to Sweeten Your Fall

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

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering ingredients for these truffles is a breeze, and I’m willing to bet you already have most of them in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup gingersnap cookies, crushed (or graham crackers for a milder flavor)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup melted white chocolate (for drizzling, optional)

If you’re missing any of these, worry not! Swap out the gingersnaps for graham crackers or even digestive biscuits. The key is to keep it simple and stress-free.

Instructions

Let’s get into the fun part—creating these little bites of joy. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a batch ready in no time:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in the crushed gingersnap cookies until well incorporated. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape. If it’s too soft, add more crushed cookies.
  3. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before adding to the pumpkin mixture.
  4. Mix the melted chocolate into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it’s well blended. Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. If desired, drizzle melted white chocolate over the truffles for an extra touch of elegance. Return to the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set.

And there you have it! My kitchen may be filled with a chorus of “Mom, can I have another?” but it’s music to my ears.
