Pumpkin Spice Oreo Truffles – A Cozy No-Bake Fall Treat
The moment the leaves start changing and the mornings call for a sweater, my kitchen begins to smell like pumpkin spice. These Pumpkin Spice Oreo Truffles are my go-to recipe whenever I want something sweet, festive, and ridiculously easy to make. They’re no-bake, bite-sized, and carry that unmistakable autumn warmth in every mouthful. Think of them as little edible hugs filled with cozy spice, wrapped in a blanket of white chocolate.
I still remember the first time I made Oreo truffles with my kids. We crushed cookies with too much enthusiasm, cream cheese smudged across our fingers, and the chocolate dipping turned into a giggle-filled mess. But those little bites became a family tradition. This pumpkin spice version elevates the classic, adding the richness of pumpkin puree and the comforting kick of pumpkin pie spice. If you’re looking for a fall party dessert that disappears in minutes, this is it.
Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies (pumpkin spice or classic)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (well-drained)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 12 oz white chocolate (for coating)
- Crushed Oreos or graham crackers (for garnish)
- Optional: caramel drizzle or chocolate drizzle
Instructions:
- Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, pumpkin puree, cream cheese, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and dough-like.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.
- Place back on parchment paper, then sprinkle with crushed Oreos or graham crackers.
- Optional: Drizzle with caramel or chocolate for extra flair.
- Allow to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure your pumpkin puree is well-drained; too much liquid will make the truffles soft.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, mix cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Use a fork or truffle dipper to coat truffles neatly in chocolate.
Variations
- Use milk chocolate instead of white for a richer flavor.
- Swap Oreos for gingersnaps for an even spicier twist.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth.
