These No Bake Pumpkin Spice Truffles are a deliciously simple and healthy treat perfect for fall or any time you crave a sweet pumpkin-flavored snack without the oven. Made with wholesome ingredients like pumpkin puree, almond flour, and maple syrup, these truffles are coated in rich dark chocolate and rolled in crunchy pecans or shredded coconut for a perfect bite-sized indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond flour, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This chilling step helps firm the dough, making it easier to shape.
  3. Form Truffle Balls: Once chilled, scoop or roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter using your hands or a small cookie scoop.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Dip each pumpkin ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Lift the truffle with a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  6. Apply Outer Coating: While the chocolate is still wet, roll each truffle in either the chopped pecans or shredded coconut to completely coat the surface.
  7. Set the Truffles: Arrange the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate them for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden and set properly.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free dark chocolate chips to make this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a spicier flavor, increase the pumpkin spice to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • Rolling truffles in chopped pecans adds crunch, while shredded coconut offers a chewy texture and different flavor profile.
  • Allow chocolate to fully set before serving to avoid messiness.
