Pumpkin Spice Truffles Recipes

SPICED PUMPKIN TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Put the graham cracker crumbs and pumpkin pie filling in a large bowl and mash together until a thick dough forms. Scoop the mixture by level tablespoons and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll each tablespoon of dough into a ball and freeze until solid, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, microwave the melting candy in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth. Dip each ball into the melted candy and place on the prepared baking sheet using two forks. Garnish each truffle with a pinch of grated nutmeg. Let stand until firm, about 30 minutes.

PUMPKIN TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine pumpkin, brown sugar and spices. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until mixture reduces by half and pumpkin looks dry. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over high heat, add cream. When cream boils, take off heat. In a heatproof medium bowl, add chocolate and hot cream. Let the mixture sit for a minute, then slowly begin to stir, starting in the center of the bowl and working outwards. Once the chocolate and cream are evenly mixed, add pumpkin mixture and whisk to combine. Add the butter and liqueur, if using. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
• On a parchment lined cookie sheet, scoop mixture into small balls using a melon baller. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour, or until chilled. Remove truffles from refrigerator and dip each in melted chocolate. Roll in cocoa powder and serve.

PUMPKIN PIE-SPICED CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
