Instructions:
- Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, melted coconut oil (or butter), pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined. It should be slightly thick and easy to handle.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Refrigerate the pumpkin mixture for about 30 minutes to make it easier to form into balls.
- Form the Truffles:
- Once chilled, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. You can also use a double boiler if you prefer.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. You can use a fork or a toothpick to help with dipping and drizzling.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill Again:
- Refrigerate the chocolate-coated truffles for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once set, the truffles are ready to be enjoyed. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Feel free to get creative with toppings or variations. You can roll the truffles in crushed nuts, unsweetened shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder for added flavor and texture!
