Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Pumpkin Puree: Use canned pumpkin for convenience, but fresh pumpkin gives great flavor too. If you want a twist, try using sweet potato puree.
Biscoff Cookies: These are essential for that unique flavor. If you can’t find them, ginger snaps or other spiced cookies can work as a substitute, but the taste will vary a bit.
Cream Cheese: This adds creaminess. If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, try using a vegan cream cheese alternative, and the texture will still hold up well.
Chocolate Chips: White chocolate is great for sweetness, but you can also use dark chocolate if you prefer a richer flavor. Just remember, it will change the sweetness of the truffles.
How Can I Make the Truffles Firm Enough to Roll?
Getting the right texture for your truffles is key. After mixing the ingredients, ensure you chill the mixture well. Pack the mixture tightly when forming balls; they should hold together well. If it feels too soft, sprinkle in extra crushed Biscoff cookies until it thickens up. Chilling them for at least an hour makes it easier to work with!
- Mix until smooth and check if it’s firm. If not, chill longer.
- Form small balls using your hands or a scoop, and place them on a parchment-lined sheet.
- Keep the truffles in the fridge to maintain their firmness before coating them in chocolate.
Easy Pumpkin Biscoff Truffles
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Truffles:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookies, crushed (about 20 cookies)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Coating:
- 2 cups white or milk chocolate chips (for coating)
- Optional: extra crushed Biscoff cookies or cinnamon for rolling
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes approximately 15 minutes for preparation and at least 1 hour for chilling the truffles. Additionally, you’ll need about 30 minutes for the chocolate to harden after dipping. So, in total, plan for around 2 hours to make these delightful treats!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix the Base:
In a large bowl, start by combining the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon or mixer to mix everything until it becomes smooth and well combined. The mixture should be creamy and delicious.
2. Incorporate the Cookies:
Next, stir in the crushed Biscoff cookies until the mixture forms a thick dough that holds its shape. If the mixture feels too wet, don’t hesitate to add a little more crushed cookies until it reaches a consistency you can easily roll into balls.
3. Form the Truffles:
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the formed truffle balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking!
4. Chill the Truffle Balls:
Pop the baking sheet with the truffle balls into the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm enough to handle.
5. Melt the Chocolate:
While your truffle balls chill, it’s time to melt the chocolate! In a microwave-safe bowl, add your chocolate chips and heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
6. Coat the Truffles:
Once the truffles are firm and the chocolate is melted, it’s time to dip! Take each chilled truffle ball and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then return the covered truffle to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Add Toppings (Optional):
If you want to add a little sprinkle of extra crushed Biscoff cookies or cinnamon, do this before the chocolate sets. It gives a nice touch and a bit of crunch!
8. Set and Serve:
Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator and let the coated truffles chill for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. They are ready when the chocolate is firm to the touch.
9. Enjoy!
Once set, your Easy Pumpkin Biscoff Truffles are ready to be served! Enjoy them chilled and share with friends or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here!
These truffles combine the cozy flavors of pumpkin and spiced cookies in every bite, making them a perfect treat for the fall season. Enjoy your delicious creations!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I Use Canned Pumpkin Puree Instead of Fresh?
Absolutely! Canned pumpkin puree is convenient and works perfectly in this recipe. Just ensure that it’s 100% pumpkin without added spices or sugar.
How Do I Store Leftover Truffles?
Store any leftover truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 2 months—just make sure to thaw them in the fridge before serving!
Can I Substitute Biscoff Cookies with Another Type?
Yes! If you can’t find Biscoff cookies, you can substitute with ginger snaps or speculoos cookies. Keep in mind that the flavor will change slightly, but it will still be delicious.
What If the Mixture is Too Sticky to Roll Into Balls?
If the mixture is too sticky, simply add more crushed Biscoff cookies until it firms up enough to roll. Chilling the mixture for an additional 15-30 minutes can also help make it easier to handle.
