Cuisine: American
Serves: 20 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and pumpkin spice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up and become easier to handle.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the chilled mixture into small, uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet with truffle balls in the freezer for 15 minutes to help them maintain their shape during coating.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning until smooth and completely melted.
- Remove the truffle balls from the freezer and using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each ball completely in the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with additional pumpkin spice or crushed graham crackers for garnish.
- Refrigerate the truffles for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for best texture.
Tips
- Chill, Chill, Chill: Refrigeration is key to getting the right truffle texture. Don't skip the chilling steps—they help the mixture set and make rolling easier.
- Uniform Size Matters: Use a small cookie scoop or weigh each truffle ball to ensure consistent sizing for even coating and professional presentation.
- Chocolate Coating Technique: Melt white chocolate slowly and stir frequently to prevent burning. If it seems too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.
- Garnish Creatively: Experiment with toppings like crushed pecans, extra pumpkin spice, or even a drizzle of dark chocolate for visual appeal.
- Make-Ahead Magic: These truffles can be prepared up to 3 days in advance, making them perfect for holiday prep or unexpected guests.
