White Chocolate Pumpkin Cup Recipe
The days of Pumpkin are continuing! Although I had the intention of making a little chocolate break, my husband himself contributed that this recipe contains pumpkins. But, what actually happened? For a long time, I have been planning to make Peanut Butter Reeses Cups. But simply, it wasn’t meant to be for them. Delighted by the sweet little Pumpkin Swirled Cheesecakes, he wondered why I wouldn’t fill chocolate cups with pumpkin. Hm… maybe not a bad idea, but somehow dark chocolate and pumpkin don’t really go together.
„But why does it have to be dark chocolate?“ asked my husband!
„Don’t you remember the truffles which you filled with pumpkin and then dipped them into white chocolate? They were really great“.
Maybe it wasn’t a bad solution, and it was really an original idea. I haven’t seen a recipe like this on the internet.
„Well, OK! We’ll make your White Chocolate Pumpkin Cups “.
And as soon as I began making them, I saw that I really liked this recipe. For the whole process, from beginning to the end, it took 20-30 minutes. Of course, you have to have prepared pumpkin puree and as I already told you, my fridge is full of it .
How to Make this Fall Pumpkin Dessert:
First, you pour the melted white chocolate on the bottom of the paper for the cups and leave them in the fridge for a few minutes to get hard. You use that time to make little pumpkin balls which you slowly put into cups with white chocolate on the bottom. You need to press the ball with your finger a little so the top wouldn’t go over the height of the cup and in the end, pour more white chocolate into what is left.
Of course, in the end, a few more minutes of cooling, and your White Chocolate Pumpkin Cups are ready to consume!
Only then did I see the biggest fault of this sweet dessert! As quickly as they are made, they are gone from your table even quicker 🙂 The only thing left is to make another round or think of the next recipe !

These look amazing! The texture of the pumpkin looks perfect!
Thank Eden 🙂
Can’t wait to make these! Do you have to use liners in a non-stick mini muffin tin? I want to try it without them, but am worried the chocolate might get stuck!
Thanks!
Hi Parul, you better use liners.

These did not work at all for me!! I doubled the graham crackers and put the mixture in the freezer trying to get it to roll into balls. It was just a sticky mess!! The directions say to put 1 tablespoon of chocolate into the bottom of a mini muffin cup and that filled my cups over half way. I didn’t end up having enough chocolate to cover the tops of them and I think that’s because of the pumpkin mixture not working properly and I couldn’t push it down thinner. The mixture is very yummy though and who doesn’t love white chocolate?? I think they will taste good just not look very pretty!!
Hi Lisa,I’m so sorry about that 🙁 Probably pumpkin puree you used was too thin, some brand are very runny. Maybe you could strain your puree over a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth if you want to try this recipe again.
If liner is too full, try putting chocolate in liner just b4 adding ball of pumpkin. Then top it off with chocolate and set in freezer 5 min to set up. Mixture for ball should not be runny. Fix that b4 making the ball.. straining mix, etc. Try adjusting chocolate to perfect your candy.

Not all mini muffin liners are the same. I have 3 or 4 different sizes. Just put enough chocolate in the bottom to support the filling.

The measurement seems to be off because I have way too much Filling and not enough chocolate but overall that dessert looks great taste good too.. good for fall season treats
Do you use candy melts or White bark?
I’m not a fan of white chocolate so I would like to try using milk or dark. Has anyone tried it that way? Any changes in the recipe and can I just melt chocolate chips?
