Prep Time:5m
Cook Time:1m
Yields:20 Truffles
Ingredients
4 oz.
white chocolate, roughly chopped
1 package
(7 oz.)
1 tbsp.
powdered sugar
½ tsp.
pumpkin pie spice
¼ cup
sugar
½ tsp.
2-3
drop orange food coloring (optional)
¼ cup
dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
<p>Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.</p>
Step 2
<p>Add the cookies to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, melted chocolate, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well combined. Stir in the cookie crumbs until a thick, soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and shape, about 1 hour.</p>
Step 3
<p>In a small shallow bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and food coloring, if using, mixing until the desired color is evenly distributed. Using a small cookie scoop or measuring tablespoon, portion out 1 tablespoon of chilled dough and roll into a smooth ball. Roll each truffle in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.</p>
Step 4
<p>Using a toothpick, gently press vertical lines around the sides of each truffle to create pumpkin-like ridges. Press a chocolate chip into the top of each truffle to resemble a stem. Arrange the pumpkin truffles on a serving platter or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy chilled or let stand at room temperature for a few minutes before serving</p>
<p><strong>Make Ahead for Easy Entertaining</strong><br />
These pumpkin truffles can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making them an easy dessert for parties and holiday gatherings. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. For the best flavor and a softer, creamier texture, let the truffles sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.</p>
