I wanted to make a little sweet for Thanksgiving this weekend, nothing too big, since we all really want to save room for pumpkin pie, but just a little special something. I decided on Pumpkin Chocolate Truffles.

These are really yummy, and the perfect treat for the chocolate lover.  The pumpkin taste is subtle, but lovely.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz. chopped semi-sweet chocolate
  • ¼ cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • good pinch of salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon soft butter
  • ½ lb. chocolate candy coating
  • 2 oz. orange chocolate candy coating

Instructions

  • Chop semi-sweet chocolate and set aside in a bowl.
  • Combine cream, pumpkin, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small pan, and heat over medium-high heat, stirring until smooth. Heat until mixture just starts to boil.
  • Pour the hot cream mixture through a wire strainer, to remove and lumps, and into the chopped chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
  • Stir in butter.
  • Put plastic wrap on the surface of the chocolate and refrigerate for a couple hours. When it is firm, but not too hard, scoop and roll into balls. You can dust your hands with coco powder. I used a melon baler as the scoop.
  • Chill again.
  • Melt your chocolate candy coating, and dip the chilled centres.
  • Melt the orange chocolate candy coating and use a ziplock bag with a tiny hole in the corner to add a drizzle to the truffles.
