Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 20 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, almond flour, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up, which will make it easier to shape into balls.
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and use clean hands to roll the dough into small, uniform truffle-sized balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolled truffles on the sheet.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring carefully to ensure smooth consistency.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each truffle completely in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle decorative sprinkles over the chocolate-coated truffles before the chocolate sets.
- Place the truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Chill Your Dough: Refrigerating the mixture for 15 minutes isn't just a suggestion - it's crucial for easy shaping and preventing sticky hands.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh pumpkin puree and pure maple syrup will elevate the flavor profile of your truffles.
- Chocolate Coating Technique: Ensure your melted chocolate is smooth and at the right temperature. Too hot, and it'll be runny; too cool, and it won't coat evenly.
- Decorative Sprinkles: Add sprinkles immediately after coating to ensure they stick to the still-wet chocolate.
- Storage Matters: Keep these truffles refrigerated and consume within 5 days for the best taste and texture.
- Customize Your Truffles: Experiment with different types of chocolate coatings or try alternative sprinkle designs to make them uniquely yours!
