Description
These Pumpkin Spice Chocolates combine rich, smooth chocolate with the warm, cozy flavors of pumpkin spice, offering a creamy and indulgent treat perfect for fall.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (or cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness adjustment)
Instructions
Prepare cream mixture: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to simmer. Do not boil.
- Add pumpkin and spices: Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice blend (or cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger). Whisk until smooth.
- Mix in vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine with chocolate: Place semisweet or dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm pumpkin cream mixture over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth. If the mixture is too runny, add powdered sugar to thicken it.
- Cool and chill: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Then, transfer to the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until firm enough to scoop and roll.
- Melt white chocolate: While the filling chills, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Let it cool slightly.
- Form balls: Scoop small amounts of the pumpkin chocolate filling and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dip in chocolate: Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess drip off and return the dipped chocolates to the sheet.
- Chill again: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the coating to firm up.
- Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- If you’d like to adjust the sweetness, increase or decrease the powdered sugar in the filling to taste.
- Add a touch of caramel sauce inside the filling for a delicious flavor twist.
