Ingredients To Make Pumpkin Spice Truffles
See printable recipe card below for all ingredients, specific measurements, and complete instructions.
- Golden Oreos - When crushed, these vanilla-flavored sandwich cookies form a moldable base for these pumpkin truffles.
- Cream Cheese - At room temperature. Will help to hold all the other truffle ingredients together.
- Pumpkin Spice - Use a premade blend or your own mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
- White Melting Chocolate - Coats your finished truffles in a layer of sweet, chocolatey goodness!
Truffle Variations
You can shape each one of your pumpkin spice truffles around a stick or straw and turn them into pumpkin truffle cake pops! Once you’ve shaped the truffles, freeze and dip them as normal. And voila! You’ve got a mess-free, handheld treat perfect for kid’s birthday parties!
Not a huge fan of white chocolate? Feel free to dip these pumpkin cream cheese truffles in any flavor of melting chocolate you like. You can even find colored melting chocolates at some craft stores or specialty grocery stores!
If these pumpkin spice truffles don't have enough pumpkin flavor for you then try adding some pumpkin purée to your truffle dough!
Just keep in mind that the extra moisture from the pumpkin might make the center of your truffles extra gooey and messy. To combat this, you can add some additional crushed Oreos or powdered sugar.
In addition to topping these truffles with a pinch of pumpkin spice, you can also top them with a drizzle of dark chocolate or mix some white chocolate with orange food gel to create a fun drizzle.
How To Make Pumpkin Truffles
Using an electric hand mixer, combine the crushed golden Oreos, cream cheese, and pumpkin spice into a smooth batter.
Divide and shape the mixture into 15 balls then place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to chill in the freezer until hard.
While the pumpkin truffles are freezing, melt the white chocolate in the microwave until drizzly and smooth.
Dip the frozen truffles in the white melting chocolate, being sure that each truffle is completely coated. I like to dip my truffles in the chocolate using a fork to make returning them to the baking sheet easier.
Return the pumpkin spice truffles to the freezer until the chocolate coating has completely hardened.

How To Store Truffles
I recommend placing any leftover Oreo pumpkin cream cheese truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When stored properly, these homemade truffles will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Since cream cheese doesn’t freeze solid, you can enjoy these truffles straight from the freezer! Or if you’re not a fan of crunchy chocolate, you can let your leftover truffles come up to room temperature before eating.
Recipe Tips
- If you’re storing these pumpkin truffles in a hard-sided container, layer them with a few sheets of parchment or wax paper. This will help to keep the truffles from sticking to one another.
- While it is not completely necessary to use room temperature cream cheese, it will make mixing the cream cheese and Oreo together much easier. Cold cream cheese is a bit stiffer so it will take you longer to break it up and incorporate it with the crushed cookies.
- Freezing the truffle balls the first time helps solidify their shape and also helps the chocolate set up faster when you coat your truffles.
- Decorate your finished truffles by topping them with some additional crushed Oreos or festive sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
- Not a fan of golden Oreos? Try using crushed gingersnaps or Nilla wafers as the base of your truffles! You will want to add about 2 tablespoons of extra cream cheese to make up for the lack of frosting provided by the Oreos.
