Ingredients
Truffles:
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup almond butter (peanit butter, cashew butter, and granola butter also work!)
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon coconut flour
Topping:
- 1 cup white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 tablespoon dark chocolate (OPTIONAL DRIZZLE)
Instructions
- Prep the tray: Line a baking tray (that fits in your freezer) with parchment paper.
- Make the truffle mixture: In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and coconut flour. Combine with a spatula, then roll the mixture into about 15 golf ball-sized truffles. Place them on the tray and freeze for 10–15 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate: Add white chocolate and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn it!
- Melt dark chocolate: Repeat the same melting process with the dark chocolate and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil until smooth.
- Coat the truffles: Remove the chilled truffles from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted white chocolate, using two forks or spoons to coat evenly. Place them back on the lined tray.
- Drizzle with dark chocolate (OPTIONAL): Dip a fork into the melted dark chocolate and drizzle it over the white chocolate-coated truffles.
- Freeze again: Freeze the truffles for another 20 minutes.
- Enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy anytime.

Notes
- To make them nut-free: Swap almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
- Coconut Flour Substitutes: Helps bind the truffles and keeps them gluten-free. A little goes a long way, so stick to this one! I would not substitute this flour. If necessary, use almond flour or regular all-purpose flour in a 3:1 ratio (1 tablespoon of coconut flour = 3 tablespoons of almond flour).
- To make it vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate to keep it fully plant-based.
- Chocolate variations: Feel free to use white or dark chocolate, depending on your preference!
- Skipping chocolate coating: While the chocolate coating gives these truffles a delicious crunch and extra sweetness, you can skip it if you prefer. You can also roll the truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or even shredded coconut for a different twist.
- Storing: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
