Description
Healthy Pumpkin Truffles are a guilt-free fall dessert made with real pumpkin puree, almond flour, warm spices, and a rich dark chocolate coating. They’re no-bake, naturally gluten-free, and can even be dairy-free. Perfect for holiday platters, gifts, or a quick sweet snack!
Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, almond flour, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. Stir until smooth.
2. Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
3. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until the truffles are firm.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth.
5. Dip each pumpkin ball into the melted chocolate, then place them back on the baking sheet.
6. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm and glossy.
Notes
Best served chilled for a melt-in-your-mouth bite.
Sprinkle crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or cinnamon on top before the chocolate sets.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
For variations, add vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or experiment with spices like cardamom or cloves.
