Delicious Pumpkin Spice Truffles

These truffles feature a creamy pumpkin filling infused with warm spices, coated in rich chocolate. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and sets in the refrigerator, yielding approximately 20 truffles.

Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (for melting chocolate)
Additional cocoa powder or crushed graham crackers for coating (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Form the Truffles: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Coat the Truffles: Dip each pumpkin truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper. Optionally, roll them in cocoa powder or crushed graham crackers for added texture.
Set and Serve: Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate. Once set, enjoy your pumpkin spice truffles or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
