Equipment

  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate, divided
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus extra to sprinkle on top of the truffles, if desired)

Instructions

  • Add 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat (reserve the remaining chocolate for later).
  • Cook, stirring often, until the chocolate is completely melted and no solid lumps remain, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate to a bowl, then add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and stir to combine.
  • Refrigerate the chocolate pumpkin mixture for 30 minutes.
  • When the chocolate pumpkin mixture has finished chilling, mix it well then leave it at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  • Scoop out one tablespoon of the pumpkin chocolate mixture and use your hands to roll it into a ball (wearing kitchen gloves makes this easier), then place it on a plate lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Repeat with the rest of the pumpkin chocolate mixture (you should end up with twelve balls).
  • Add the remaining 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat, then stir until melted.
  • Once the chocolate has melted, immediately remove the pot from the heat and transfer the melted chocolate to a bowl.
  • Add a pumpkin chocolate ball to the bowl of melted chocolate, then gently stir to coat it completely.
  • Use a fork to lift the pumpkin chocolate ball out of the bowl of melted chocolate and place it on the plate lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Add a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on top of the chocolates, if desired, then repeat with the rest of the pumpkin chocolate balls.
  • Place the plate of truffles in the fridge to harden for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

  • Store these pumpkin spice chocolates in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or in the freezer for up to six months.
