Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles Recipe

These truffles strike a beautiful balance between flavor and texture. The spiced pumpkin filling is soft and lush, and the outer chocolate coating adds just enough snap to keep things interesting. They’re freezer-friendly and perfect for prepping ahead, which makes them a smart choice for busy seasons. Whether you’re making them for a Halloween party, Thanksgiving, or just to get into the autumn spirit, they are a crowd-pleaser every time.

Do I Need to Use Fresh or Canned Pumpkin Puree?

Canned pumpkin puree works wonderfully in this recipe and saves you lots of time. It offers a consistent texture and flavor, which is important when mixing it into the cheesecake filling. Just make sure you’re using pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which has added spices and sugar that could throw off the balance of this recipe.

Ingredients for the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles

The ingredients list for these truffles is delightfully short and simple, yet each one plays an important role in the final flavor and consistency. Here’s what you’ll need:

Cream Cheese
This is the base of the cheesecake filling and gives each truffle its smooth and creamy texture.

Pumpkin Puree
Adds that distinct autumn flavor and beautiful color. Use pure canned pumpkin for best results.

Powdered Sugar
Sweetens the truffle filling while helping it hold shape once chilled.

Pumpkin Pie Spice
A cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves that infuses every bite with seasonal warmth.

Graham Cracker Crumbs
Brings a little crunch and the flavor of a graham cracker crust.

White Chocolate Chips or Melting Wafers
This creates the shell around the truffles, giving them a sweet contrast to the creamy center.

Coconut Oil or Vegetable Shortening
Optional, but helps the chocolate melt smoothly and coat the truffles evenly.

How To Make the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and graham cracker crumbs. Mix well until you have a thick, scoopable filling.

Step 2: Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This firms up the filling and makes it easier to roll into balls.

Step 3: Roll Into Balls

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the chilled mixture and roll into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

While the truffles are freezing, melt white chocolate chips with a bit of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth.

Step 5: Coat the Truffles

Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Let any excess drip off and place back on the parchment paper. Add a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top if desired.

Step 6: Chill and Set

Place the finished truffles in the fridge or freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate sets.

How to Store and Serve Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles

These truffles are best served chilled or at room temperature. They will soften slightly if left out too long but are still delicious. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you’d like to make them well in advance, you can freeze them for up to two months. This recipe makes around 18 to 20 truffles, perfect for sharing or gifting.
