Pumpkin Spice Truffles

  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 20-24 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)
  • 6 ounces high-quality semisweet or white chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar, honey, or maple syrup (choose your preferred sweetener)

Coatings and Toppings

  • Cocoa powder
  • Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Shredded coconut
  • Melted chocolate (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Mixture: Combine pumpkin puree with pumpkin spice blend in a small bowl. Gently warm if needed to help meld the spices evenly into the pumpkin.
  2. Mix with Chocolate and Sweeteners: Slowly melt the chocolate and butter or coconut oil together. Fold in the pumpkin spice mixture along with your chosen sweetener, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the truffle batter to a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
  4. Form the Truffles: Use a small scoop or spoon to portion out the chilled mixture and quickly roll it between your palms to create bite-sized balls, working swiftly to prevent the mixture from becoming too soft.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dip in melted chocolate for a polished finish. Place on parchment paper and allow to set.
  6. Chill Again Before Serving: Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up and let the flavors develop fully before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for a richer taste and smoother texture.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly to make shaping easier and less sticky.
  • Work quickly when rolling truffles by hand to maintain firmness and shape.
  • Experiment with different coatings like crushed graham crackers or cocoa nibs for variety.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to preserve freshness and flavor.
