Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips melted, for filling
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for coating
  • Additional chocolate chips for decoration, optional

Method
 

  1. Make the Dough:In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, almond flour, coconut flour, maple syrup, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until the dough forms a smooth, soft consistency. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more coconut flour until manageable.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:Place 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Shape the Truffles:Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Add a small dollop of melted chocolate to the center, then wrap the dough around the chocolate to fully enclose it. Roll into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  4. Coat in Sugar:Roll each truffle in granulated sugar to create a sparkling effect. This adds a festive touch and a light crunch to the truffles.
  5. Add Decorative Stems (Optional):For a seasonal pumpkin look, press a chocolate chip on top of each truffle to resemble a pumpkin stem.
  6. Chill and Set:Place the truffles on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the texture and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freezing: These truffles freeze well. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge before serving.
  • Variations: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the dough for an extra layer of spice, or swap the chocolate filling for caramel or nut butter.
  • Dietary Adaptations: For a nut-free version, replace almond flour with oat flour and adjust the consistency with additional coconut flour if needed.
