Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these truffles. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

  • cream cheese
  • canned pumpkin puree
  • icing/powdered sugar
  • gingernut/gingersnap biscuit crumbs
  • ground ginger and cinnamon
  • white chocolate

How to make Pumpkin Gingerbread Truffles

To make these truffles, simply mix together the cream cheese, pumpkin, and icing sugar until combined.

Add the biscuit crumbs, spices, and melted chocolate, and mix until combined. The mixture will be very thick and sticky.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 – 2 hours (or up to 24 hours) until completely chilled and firm.

Roll the mixture into 0.5oz balls (you’ll get about 28 balls), and place onto a large baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Freeze for 30 minutes.

For the coating, add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 20 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. Leave to cool slightly.

Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, and place back onto the baking tray. Sprinkle with biscuit crumbs, and allow to set completely in the fridge.

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

These Pumpkin Gingerbread Truffles are:

  • deliciously creamy
  • bursting with pumpkin flavour
  • loaded with ginger biscuit crumbs
  • coated in white chocolate
  • the perfect no-bake festive treats!

How long will these truffles last? These truffles can be kept in an airtight container, layered between parchment or wax paper, in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Can I freeze these truffles? Yes, also freeze well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
