If you’re craving the comfort of pumpkin pie with a twist, these Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles deliver everything you love about fall desserts in one bite-sized indulgence. Each truffle is packed with creamy spiced pumpkin, tangy cheesecake, and a sweet outer shell that cracks just right. They’re decadent without being overwhelming, and their petite size makes them perfect for sharing (or not).

These truffles are also a no-bake dream, which means you get all that holiday flavor without turning on your oven. They’re a perfect make-ahead treat for Thanksgiving tables, cookie swaps, or a cozy night on the couch with something warm to sip.

Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles

These truffles have that irresistible creamy center with a soft, spiced pumpkin filling balanced by smooth cream cheese and just enough sweetness. Rolled in crushed cookies or dipped in white chocolate, they hit all the right notes for texture and flavor. The best part? They come together with minimal effort but taste like they took hours.

Can I Use Fresh Pumpkin Instead of Canned?

Yes, you can! Just make sure your fresh pumpkin puree is well-drained. Canned pumpkin tends to be thicker, which helps keep the truffle texture firm enough to roll. If you’re using fresh, you may need to slightly adjust with extra cookie crumbs or chill longer to firm them up.

Ingredients for the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles

These ingredients create a soft yet stable filling with bold seasonal flavor and a dreamy finish.

Cream cheese
This forms the base of our truffles and adds a tangy richness that balances the sweetness of the pumpkin.

Pumpkin puree
Adds moistness and that iconic fall flavor. Make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pie filling.

Powdered sugar
Sweetens the mix and helps with structure.

Pumpkin pie spice
A blend of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger that gives these truffles their seasonal kick.

Graham cracker crumbs
Provides body and helps the mixture hold its shape.

White chocolate chips or candy coating
Used for dipping the truffles and giving that satisfying shell.

Crushed cookies or graham crackers (optional)
For coating the outside or adding texture after dipping.

How To Make the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Truffles

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice and stir until well combined. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs until a dough-like texture forms.

Step 2: Chill the Dough

Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.

Step 3: Shape the Truffles

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

Step 4: Dip and Decorate

Melt the white chocolate chips or candy coating according to package instructions. Dip each chilled truffle into the chocolate, tapping off any excess. Place back on the parchment and, if desired, sprinkle with crushed cookies or graham crumbs.

Step 5: Let Set and Enjoy

Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

How to Store and Serve These Truffles

These pumpkin pie cheesecake truffles serve about 20 to 24 people depending on how large you roll them. They’re best served slightly chilled but not ice-cold, which keeps the texture creamy and smooth. You can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. If freezing, separate layers with parchment paper and let thaw in the fridge before serving.
