How to make Pumpkin Pie Truffles:

To make the pumpkin pie filling, melt white chocolate in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until melted.
Set aside and let cool slightly.
Add pumpkin, gingersnap crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, cinnamon and cream cheese to cooled white chocolate. Mix well until combined and smooth. Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator or freezer until it has thickened up enough to scoop and roll into balls (about 1 hour).
Scoop the filling mixture and roll into 1 inch balls. Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let chill until firm (about 2 hours).
When you are ready to dip the truffles, melt 2 cups of white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments or until melted. Carefully dip one ball at a time into the chocolate. Turn quickly to coat and set on lined baking sheet to set up.
Sprinkle with gingersnap crumbs while the chocolate is still runny. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate coating is set.

These were a huge hit on Thanksgiving. My husband and father were raving about them. Thank you so much for sharing :)
Jeanie says:

Do you have a recipe for gingersnaps, to make the crumbs? I didn't see one when I searched your site. Also, how many cookies would make 3/4 cup of crumbs? Thanks.
Cyd says:

We have a new sister site MyRecipeMagic.com with hundreds and hundreds of recipes. We found a delicious Ginger spice cookie that you could make and then turn into crumbs. Here is the link - http://myrecipemagic.com/recipe/recipedetail/ginger-spice-cookies. Just keep crushing the cookies til you get 3/4 cup. Depends on the size of the cookie to get 3/4 of a cup. If they are too moist, just let them dry out for a day and they will crush better.
Jeanie says:

Thanks!
Jeanie says:

I made these, and they were a success. Do you know if they freeze well? Also, have you considered giving comment-ers the option of subscribing, so they know when someone responds to their comment? Thanks, as always.
Cyd says:

These freeze great in an airtight container!
Jeanie says:

Thank you! It wound up not mattering - I'd taken them to work and they were all eaten. Funny thing - When you've had them out of the fridge for a while, the filling expands and breaks the shell! :-)
Jill says:

I made these at least three times last holiday season. They were a huge hit every time. I'm sure I'll have to make them again this year or else I'll hear about it! People's faces just light up when they taste them!
Laura says:

These look incredibly yummy... Cannot wait to make them! My daughter in law will be my BFF if In make them for her! ;-) Thanks for the recipe!
Morgan says:

These look fantastic and I'd love to bring them to my Thanksgiving dinner. I did have a question, though. When you add the ingredients to the cooled white chocolate in the beginning, how does the chocolate not seize up when the cooler ingredients are added? If they are all at room temperature (including the cream cheese), will it be OK? I have had an incredible amount of trouble with chocolate in the past and would love any tips!
Cyd says:

The ingredients are not that cool so the white chocolate does not seize up. After you mix it all together, that is when you cool it down so it can set up and be rolled into balls. These are fine to set out for a few hours for your Thanksgiving dinner. Would refrigerate after a few hours to be safe.
Kennyatta says:

Well you could do what my dad and I did when I was little and I still do occasionally today if I don't just bake the filling in a pie pan: dig a spoon into the pie and just eat the filling and leave the crust. We drove mom nuts doing this LOL
Sandy_of_WV says:

Wondering if anyone has made these... "without" ...gingersnap cookie crumbs? Dislike that flavor -- thinking of making with 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs instead.
Amanda says:

Did you just do the dark chocolate on the outside?
Diana says:

Sampled a frozen pumpkin ball prior to dipping in white chocolate. Oh my! These are going to be deadly! :) I used fresh pumpkin purée... it was divine.
Cyd says:

We used white chips on the outside.
Amanda says:

Making these for our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. I used the new Greek Cream Cheese and so far has seemed to work well. One question - the filling is not as thick as say oreo truffles are - Can you add extra cookie/graham crumbs to thicken up the filling a bit without ruining the flavor? Has anyone tried this? I added extra cinnamon and I also added some homemade pumpkin pie spice to increase the flavor in mine (my husband always complains that pumpkin recipes are too bland) and it worked out beautifully - the flavor is perfect for us. Letting the filling sit in fridge overnight and finishing in the morning. Hoping I have enough time!!
Baker Sam says:

These look amazing .... Can you by chance tell me how many ginger snaps I will need is one box enough ???
Cyd says:

One box will be plenty. Should even have some left over for munching!!
