White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Truffles

White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Truffles

You may think it’s a little early for truffles and candy making, but we at Kitchen Kneads think it’s always time for homemade candy.  And when you introduce pumpkin into the mix it definitely time for some Autumn candy making.

These little things are addicting.  It’s a good thing they’re so easy to make.  You might consider doubling or tripling the recipe.

The coating I used is our Kreamy Coating, which is similar to almond bark.  The white chocolate I used in the centers was our White Caps, which is made with butter fat and lends a richer flavor.

White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Truffles

• 2/3 cup finely ground Biscoff cookies (or graham crackers)
• 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
• 2 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 6 oz white chocolate for coating

 

1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and melted white chocolate. Stir in ground cookies and set in the fridge for half an hour.
2. Roll 1 inch balls and place them on parchment paper. If it becomes too sticky to roll, put it back in the fridge to firm up more. Place a toothpick in each ball and freeze them for at least half an hour before coating with chocolate.
3. Melt white chocolate and dip each frozen ball in the melted chocolate and transfer them onto parchment paper. Sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice on each truffle if desired.
