Ingredients
Method
- Place almond butter, pumpkin puree, coconut butter, maple syrup and pie spice in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
- Stop processor and add coconut flour. Process until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tsp. of additional coconut flour.
- Roll dough between your palms to form 12 equal-sized balls. Place on a plate in the freezer and allow to chill at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to dip, place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water to simulate a double boiler. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
- Using a fork or wooden skewer, carefully dip truffles one at a time into the melted chocolate, rolling and dunking until evenly coated on all sides. Sprinkle with chopped almonds, salt, and additional pumpkin pie spice, if desired.
- Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and return to the fridge until chocolate hardens.
- Store truffles in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For the creamiest texture, ensure your coconut butter is fully melted and smoothly incorporated into the pumpkin truffle mixture.
- If the truffle dough feels too sticky to roll, I've found adding an extra teaspoon of coconut flour at a time helps achieve the perfect consistency without drying it out.
- To ensure even coating, use a fork to dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before transferring. Also, make sure to chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes in the freezer before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
- Store leftover pumpkin truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for up to 2 months for a longer-lasting treat. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
