Ingredients

For the truffles:
  • 3 ounces (85 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75 grams) pumpkin puree
  • 1 3/4 cup (175 grams) Speculoos cookie crumbs (from about 23 cookies)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
For coating:
  • 16 ounces (454 grams) chocolate (any kind), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
  • Crushed Speculoos cookies or sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine all filling ingredients. Pulse until well blended.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small 1-tablespoon spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into balls.
  3. Place the cookie balls in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet and place flat in the freezer until well chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
  4. Once the cookie balls are chilled, combine the chopped chocolate and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until just melted and smooth. Do not overheat.
  5. Drop each chilled cookie ball into mixture, coating evenly. Remove with a fork, gently tapping off excess chocolate. Place back on cookie sheet and immediately decorate as desired. Repeat with the remaining cookie balls. The truffles can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Be sure to use fresh spices, as older spices carry a lot less flavor and will produce bland truffles.
  • Speculoos cookies can be found in most grocery stores, either with other cookies/biscuits or in the international aisle. They may be under the brand name Biscoff.
