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. 1 cup heavy cream
  2. 2 tablespoons butter
  3. 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  4. 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (or cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
  5. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  6. 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  7. 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  8. 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.

  1. Add pumpkin and spices: Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice blend (or cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger). Whisk until smooth.
  2. Mix in vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Form balls: Scoop small amounts of the pumpkin chocolate filling and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. 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.
  8. Chill again: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the coating to firm up.
  9. 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.
