Ingredients

For the Chocolate Shell
  • 2 recipes homemade white chocolate; 2 bags (9 oz. each) Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips; AND/OR 2 bags (7 oz. each) ChocZero white, milk, or dark chocolate chips
For the Pumpkin Pie Filling
  • ¾ cup THM Baking Blend
  • ⅓ cup powdered erythritol or equivalent powdered sweetener
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree (homemade or store bought)
  • 2 ounces ⅓ fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon mineral salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line 36 mini muffin pan with mini muffin liners (or leave alone if using a silicone mini muffic pan).
  2. Using a double boiler (you can create a double boiler by filling a small saucepan with about 1 inch of water and placing a stainless steel or glass bowl over the mouth of the pan), melt the chocolate until just melted (not too liquidy). Remove from heat.
  3. While chocolate is melting, in a small bowl, mix together the baking blend, sweetener, pumpkin, cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. A stiff dough will result.
  4. Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with the warm chocolate.
  5. Roll out the pumpkin dough into 3/4-inch diamteer balls (each uses just under 1 teaspoon of the dough). Flatten each ball slightly and press gently into the chocolate in a muffin cup.
  6. Pour more white chocolate over the top of the filling.
  7. Refrigerate or freeze until hardened. Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
