Biscoff Pumpkin Truffles
Little mouthfuls of speculaas cookie crumbs with pumpkin and autumn spices, wrapped in a deliciously crisp white chocolate coating. Perfect for autumn (fall) and pumpkin season, but we especially love them at Christmas!

Course: Afternoon Tea, Christmas, Dessert, party food
Cuisine: American, Australian
Servings: 35
- 55 g cream cheese room temperature
- 15 g icing sugar
- 70 g pumpkin puree see notes
- 175 g Lotus Biscoff biscuits crushed, plus a little extra for decorating
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice see notes
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 115 g white chocolate melted, see notes
- 290 g white chocolate melts see notes
In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until creamy
Add the pumpkin and beat until combined
Add the crushed biscoff biscuits, spices and the melted chocolate
Mix until well combined, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour
After the mixture has been refrigerated, use a small cookie scoop to scoop the mixture and roll into balls. Place the rolled balls onto a lined baking tray
Refrigerate the rolled balls for 30 minutes
Melting the white chocolate melts
Place the melts into a microwave safe container and heat on 60% for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate vigorously, then do another 30 seconds on 60%. If it hasn't melted completely after stirring, heat for another 30 seconds
If the chocolate starts to thicken during dipping, just give it another 10-20 seconds in the microwave
Decorating
After dipping the truffles in the chocolate, sprinkle with the extra biscoff crumbs. I do this after I've dipped 3-4 balls, so the chocolate is still a little sticky
Truffles will last in the fridge for a week, or the freezer for 3 months
- canned pumpkin can usually be found in the international section of Australian supermarkets
- pumpkin pie spice is available in Australia in specialty spice stores, but you can also make your own, using equal amounts ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice
- while I always use high quality chocolate (Lindt, Callebaut) for baking, I find Nestle white chocolate melts the best for coating these truffles. The melts are whiter and thinner when melted, making them perfect for coating. I still use melted white chocolate for the truffle mixture though
