Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the pumpkin puree has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a separate heatproof bowl, place the chopped chocolate. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to boil. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
-
Stir the cream and chocolate mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If needed, you can reheat the mixture gently over a double boiler to ensure all the chocolate is melted.
-
Add the pumpkin mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours until it firms up.
-
Once the mixture has set, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls. If the mixture is too soft, you can refrigerate it for a bit longer. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and decoration.
-
Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
-
Your Sinfully Rich Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles are now ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, if they last that long.
