Introduction

These Pumpkin Spice Truffles are a delightful seasonal treat, combining creamy pumpkin flavor with warm spices and a smooth white chocolate coating. Perfect for autumn gatherings or a cozy dessert, they’re easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

The image shows round, white chocolate-covered treats arranged on a white plate and on a wooden surface next to a blue and white striped cloth. Each treat is coated in a smooth, glossy white chocolate layer with a sprinkle of fine golden crumbs on top. One treat is cut in half, revealing a dense, light brown interior with a slightly crumbly texture inside the white chocolate shell. The white chocolate coating is thick and slightly uneven on the sides, creating small drips and folds. The white plate has a subtle blue and green leaf pattern beneath the treats, and the background features a clean white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 14.4 ounce package graham crackers
4 ounces cream cheese
½ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
12 ounces white melting wafers or white chocolate chips (such as Wiltons or Ghirardelli)
Gold sprinkles and crushed graham for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely crumbled. Add the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Pulse again until combined and a dough ball forms. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Using a cookie scoop, roll the chilled dough into about 20 balls. Place them on a tray and freeze for 10 minutes while you prepare the coating.
Step 3: Melt the white melting wafers or white chocolate chips according to the package directions. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4: Dip each pumpkin spice ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip off. Transfer the coated truffles to the parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle with gold sprinkles or crushed graham crackers before the coating sets.
Step 5: Let the truffles dry completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra spice, add a pinch of cardamom or increase cinnamon slightly to enhance warmth.
Use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate for a dairy-free version.
Try rolling the truffles in crushed nuts or shredded coconut instead of sprinkles for a different texture.

Storage

Store the pumpkin spice truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. To serve, thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of a round white chocolate truffle with a smooth, creamy texture. It is covered in white chocolate and topped with small, shiny golden sugar crystals scattered evenly over the surface. The truffle sits on a flat black slate tray, with another similar truffle softly blurred in the background. The focus is sharp on the front truffle, highlighting the smooth coating and the sparkle of the golden crystals. The setting is simple, with the black slate providing contrast against the white chocolate and gold sprinkles. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
