Delicious Pumpkin Pie Truffles Recipe
These truffles combine the flavors of pumpkin, spices, and chocolate, creating a unique treat that is sure to impress. The recipe yields about 20 truffles and takes approximately 1 hour to prepare, including chilling time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup chocolate chips, for coating
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
- Additional pumpkin pie spice for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
- Form the Truffles: Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the pumpkin mixture and roll them into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each pumpkin ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill Again: Once all truffles are coated, refrigerate them for another 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate. If desired, dust with additional pumpkin pie spice before serving.
