Pumpkin Spice Truffles are easy to make in your food processor! Tastes just like Pumpkin Pie and is covered in delicious white chocolate. Easy to make and fun to eat!
Pumpkin Spice Truffles are the perfect fall baking treat! Great for holiday parties, brunch, Thanksgiving dinner, or just a fun treat to make and have on hand.
The best part about these truffles is how easy they are to make… no baking required. And they taste just like pumpkin pie in the center with a satisfying crunchy white chocolate coating, yum!
Pumpkin Spice Truffles are gorgeous to look at too! In addition to the graham cracker topping, adding golden sprinkles really makes the truffles pop. My favorite are the Wilton Gold Pearlized Sugar Sprinkles because they sprinkle on easy, have a sweet crunch to them, and look so pretty for a great price!

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Truffles
Pumpkin Spice Truffles comes together quick and are an easy no-bake treat for the holidays. You can make these up to a week in advance and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These truffles are great treat to have on hand for when guests arrive!
To make, put an entire 14 ounce box of graham crackers into a food processor. You can use the traditional grahams or cinnamon would be delicious here too.
Next, put on the lid and pulse the graham crackers until they resemble a smooth crumb.
Then, add in the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sugar, and spices into the food processor. Here, I use a combination of spices: nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. However, you could always substitute an equal amount of pumpkin pie spice (three teaspoons) in this recipe.
Add the spices to the mixer along with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pumpkin puree. Process until the ingredients are combined and the mixture forms a ball.

Chill the dough before rolling into balls
I like to chill the dough for about 5 minutes before rolling into balls. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll into balls using a cookie scoop.
My favorite scoop is the Wilton Stainless Steel Cookie Scoop because it’s easy to use and a great price. I’ve had mine for years and still love it!
You should be able to get about 20-24 balls out of the dough. Transfer the truffle balls to the freezer while you prepare the coating.
Coat the Pumpkin Spice Truffles in White Chocolate
Lastly, coat the truffles in white chocolate. Here, you can use the Wilton or Ghiradelli’s melting chocolate, or simply use white chocolate chips.
Simply, microwave the white chocolate at 50% until fully melted, stopping to stir the chocolate every 30 seconds.
Carefully dip the truffle balls into the chocolate letting the excess chocolate drizzle into the bowl when removing. Place back on parchment paper and sprinkle with toppings, if using.
In a pinch for toppings? Use crushed up graham crackers to decorate the top of the truffles. Be sure to let the truffles dry completely before moving.

Thank You Angela for the delicious truffles! These were gone within one night. Kids were ready to run to the store to get more of the white chocolate (as we were short on it 🙂 just to be able to get the best taste of the treat. We are definitely ready to try the other variations now. Great desert or compliment for any special dinner or for the holidays!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks, Lena 🙂
Love pumpkins! Perfect snack as well. I will try this on weekend!! <3
Wow, super easy and a delicious treat! Like that you used white chocolate too!
I have been looking of fall dessert recipes to change things up at my house. These were a hit! They are being requested again.
Everyone in my house loves these too! So good 🙂
These truffles would make a great addition to a Thanksgiving dessert table!
These are absolutely gorgeous and such a great gift idea!
I found this on pinterest back in September and have made them probably 5 or 6 times for various work and family parties. Everyone goes crazy over them. They are amazing! Wanted to come back and say thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
That’s so wonderful! Thanks so much for letting me know. You made my day! 🙂
Hello,
Instead of the icing sugar, can I use golden Oreo crumbs?
Yes, I think that would work great! Let me know how it turns out.
I don’t have a food processor. Do these work out well by hand? They look scrumptious!
No need to use a food processor here. You can use graham cracker crumbs from the store or mash graham crackers in a ziplock bag using a rolling pin. Then just stir all the rest of the ingredients together. Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature. Let me know how this works for you. These little truffles are so delicious! 🙂
