3 Ingredient Pumpkin Pie Truffles
These creamy pumpkin pie flavored truffles can be easily made into adorable mini pumpkin shapes. They are easy to make and need just 3 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (128 g) white chocolate chips, see note
- 1/3 cup (75 g) pumpkin puree
- 24 cinnamon graham crackers, finely crushed in food processor until flour-like consistency (about 90 g)
Optional
- 16 milk chocolate chips, for pumpkin stems
Instructions
- Add chocolate and pumpkin to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula, until the chocolate is fully melted, smooth and uniform in color.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly incorporated. Adding the graham crackers should thicken the mixture. Place into the fridge to set (about 1 hour). You want the dough to be firm enough to roll between your palms.
- Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the dough and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining mixture. Place each dough ball onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Use a toothpick to create vertical lines around each ball. Start from the top and work your way down, spacing the lines evenly to mimic the ridges of a pumpkin. I did 7 lines per ball. If using, gently press a chocolate chip on top of each pumpkin to act as the stem.
- Place truffles back into the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up a little more before serving. Or keep them stored in the fridge until ready to be served. Uneaten leftover truffles should be stored in the fridge.
Notes
- 24 graham crackers will yield a little under 1 cup of finely crushed graham cracker crumbs. A cracker is one of the individual crackers on a sheet of graham crackers. There are four crackers per sheet. You will need six sheets or 24 individual crackers. I recommend using a food processor to pulse the graham crackers to fine crumbs until they become flour-like in consistency.
- White chocolate chips: I used Nestle brand white morsels (Amazon | Target | Walmart).* You do want to use a good brand because some of the generic store brands and cheaper brands don't melt well. Also make sure to use a fresh bag of white chocolate chips because old white chocolate chips also don't melt well.
- You don't need to use real white chocolate. White baking chips are fine. In the US, white baking chips are commonly referred to as white chocolate chips which is why I use the two terms interchangeably. However, they are not technically white chocolate because they don't contain cocoa butter, so they are always labeled white baking chips or white morsels.
- For the stems, I used Hershey's milk chocolate chips (Amazon | Walmart).*

- I used cinnamon graham crackers so that the pumpkin truffles have a nice cinnamon flavor included. If you can't find cinnamon graham crackers, you can add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to your truffle mixture. The truffles also taste great with graham crackers without cinnamon.
