Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup (75g) graham cracker crumbs (up to 1 cup if needed)
  • 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
  • Cinnamon sugar or crushed graham crackers (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together pumpkin puree and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Stir in graham cracker crumbs until the mixture thickens and forms a stiff, scoopable dough. Add more crumbs if the mixture is too wet.
  4. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill the truffles in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the fridge for 1 hour until firm.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
  7. Using two forks, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to the parchment-lined sheet.
  8. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or crushed graham crackers while the chocolate is still wet.
  9. Let truffles set at room temperature until chocolate firms up, about 15-20 minutes, or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  10. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Chill the filling well before dipping for best results. Use good-quality chocolate for a smooth coating. Adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste. For gluten-free, use GF graham crackers; for dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate. Truffles freeze well for up to 3 months.
