Ingredients

4 oz (115g) good quality white chocolate*

1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)**

1 Tbsp powdered sugar

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon

1 1/2 cups (195g) graham cracker crumbs

For the coating:

2 Tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Mini chocolate chips (optional, for stems)

Instructions

  1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave (10-second bursts, stirring each time) or over a double boiler until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly for 5–10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until combined.
  3. Add the melted chocolate and stir until incorporated.
  4. Fold in graham cracker crumbs to form a thick, soft dough. Cover and chill for 1–2 hours until firm.
  5. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
  6. Scoop dough into 1 Tbsp portions and roll into balls. Coat in cinnamon sugar.
  7. (Optional) To make pumpkin shapes, press grooves into the sides with a toothpick or knife, then add a mini chocolate chip on top as a stem.
  8. Keep truffles refrigerated until serving.

Notes

  • *Use high-quality bar white chocolate or couverture chocolate for the smoothest melt. Avoid standard chips which don’t melt well.
  • **Use 100% pure pumpkin puree. Avoid pumpkin pie filling or overly watery organic purees.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Roll in cinnamon sugar just before serving for the best texture.
  • For coating alternatives: dip in melted chocolate, sanding sugar, or leave plain.
  • Vegan option: Use dairy-free white chocolate and vegan graham crumbs.
  • Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
