Description
These Spiced Pumpkin Truffles offer a rich and creamy treat that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin and spices in a smooth chocolate coating They make a perfect dessert or snack for the fall season delivering a balance of sweetness and spice with each bite
Ingredients
4 ounces (115g) good quality white chocolate
⅓ cup (80g) pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or up to 1 teaspoon for a stronger flavor)
1 cup (130g) graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
mini chocolate chips (optional – for decorating)
Instructions
Melt the white chocolate in your microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Set the melted chocolate aside for 5 to 10 minutes to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to mix.
Add the melted chocolate to the pumpkin mixture and blend thoroughly.
Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs until a thick, soft dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop and roll.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the chilled dough and roll it between your hands to form a smooth ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Optional: To decorate the truffles like little pumpkins, use a toothpick, skewer, or knife to press lines around the sides to resemble pumpkin ridges. Press a mini chocolate chip into the top to serve as a stem.
Store the truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
these truffles are best served chilled
avoid overheating the mixture or the texture may become grainy
roll the truffles quickly before the coating hardens
store in an airtight container to maintain freshness
experiment with different coatings for variety
