Delightful Spiced Pumpkin Truffles featuring creamy white chocolate and warm pumpkin pie spices, coated in a cinnamon sugar blend. These no-bake treats are perfect for autumn gatherings and holiday celebrations, offering a smooth, soft center with a crunchy, flavorful coating.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: About 20 truffles

Ingredients

For the pumpkin truffles:

  • 4 ounces (115g) good quality white chocolate
  • 1/3 cup (80g) pure pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups (195g) graham cracker crumbs

For the cinnamon sugar coating:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Mini chocolate chips (optional – for decorating)

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in your microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Set the melted chocolate aside for 5 to 10 minutes to cool slightly to avoid curdling the pumpkin mixture.
  2. Make the pumpkin mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon) until well combined, creating a spiced base for the truffles.
  3. Combine chocolate and pumpkin: Add the cooled melted chocolate to the pumpkin mixture and stir thoroughly to incorporate the chocolate evenly.
  4. Fold in graham cracker crumbs: Gradually fold in the graham cracker crumbs until you achieve a thick, soft dough that can be easily shaped.
  5. Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the truffle dough for 1-2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop and roll into balls.
  6. Prepare cinnamon sugar coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together until evenly combined.
  7. Shape and coat truffles: Scoop out 1 tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them between your hands to form smooth balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat fully.
  8. Decorate (optional): To make pumpkin-like ridges, gently press a toothpick or skewer around the sides of each truffle. Press a mini chocolate chip into the top for the ‘stem’.
  9. Store and serve: Keep the truffles refrigerated until ready to enjoy to maintain their shape and freshness.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra sugars and spices.
  • Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before mixing to prevent cooking the pumpkin.
  • Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to your preference; cinnamon alone works well too.
  • Graham cracker crumbs add texture; substitute with gluten-free crumbs if needed.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
