Pumpkin Truffles


Pumpkin Truffles
Makes 18-24

1 C White Chocolate plus 3 C for Dipping
2/3 C Ground Gingersnap Cookies plus 1/3 C for Sprinkling on Top
2/3 C Pure Pumpkin Puree
1 ½ T Maple Syrup
1 Orange, Zest Only
4 Oz Softened Cream Cheese
½ t Cinnamon
Pinch Nutmeg
 
Melt 1 cup of white chocolate over a double boiler water bath.  *You can try the microwave, but white chocolate can be temperamental and needs to be watched. Add everything else except reserve the 3 cups of white chocolate and 1/3 cup of cookie crumbles.

 
 
Chill them for about 1 ½ hours.  Using an ice cream scoop or teaspoon, portion out the truffles.  Put them onto a wax paper lines sheet tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Melt the remaining white chocolate over a double boiler.  Line a sheet pan with wax paper. The truffles are a little soft, so rather than dip them into the chocolate, set it on a fork and spoon the chocolate over the top. It’s hard to coat the bottom of the truffles, so you may want to spoon a small dot of chocolate on the paper. Then put a coated truffle on top of each dot.  Sprinkle them with gingersnap crumbles and chill until ready to eat.

*Almond Bark may be easier for dipping than the white chocolate.
