These Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles combine the rich, velvety texture of dark chocolate with a creamy pumpkin filling, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. A perfect fall treat, these truffles offer a decadent and comforting flavor profile, making them the ideal indulgence for any occasion.

Ingredients

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz dark chocolate (preferably 70% cocoa), chopped

1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (for melting the chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pumpkin Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  2. Form Truffles: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the pumpkin mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. Chill: Freeze the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes until they firm up.

  4. Melt Chocolate: While the truffles chill, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth.

  5. Dip Truffles in Chocolate: Once chilled, dip each pumpkin ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.

  6. Set Chocolate Coating: Let the chocolate coating set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or refrigerate to speed up the process.

  7. Serve: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

  • Garnishing: Optional garnishes include whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and decoration.
