    Pumpkin chocolate truffles are a delicious sugar free, low carb and gluten free treat with warm spices and rich chocolate.

    The flavour combination of warm pumpkin spice and chocolate is utterly delicious. A great holiday sweet treat that is easy to make.

    Homemade Pumpkin Spice

    I usually mix my own pumpkin spice but you could happily use the pumpkin spice from the stores.  I rarely see pumpkin spice for sale where I live, or the odd time that I do come across it, it's so expensive, I leave the shop swearing and head to my spice rack to work my magic.

    My pumpkin spice mix is made up of:

    • Cinnamon
    • Ginger
    • All Spice
    • Cloves

    You could add nutmeg too. Homemade pumpkin spice varies to your own particular taste.

    How to make pumpkin chocolate truffles

    For the canned pumpkin puree we have tried both plain and pumpkin pie puree. With the canned pumpkin pie puree check the labels for sugar and additives.

    Making chocolate truffles is an easy sweet recipe and is just chocolate and cream melted together. To keep the sugar content low, use a high cocoa solid chocolate at least 70% cocoa solids.

    I learned how to make chocolate truffles from a cooking class I attended when we lived in Dubai and have used this method. Half the chocolate is melted in a Bain Marie, then the remaining chocolate is added. Cream is mixed in with spices and the pumpkin puree. The mixture is left to set, then balls are formed.

    Coating suggestions

    The pumpkin truffles can be served plain or rolled in chopped nuts, cocoa powder or unsweetened desiccated coconut. For the nuts, try chopped pecans or almonds. Cinnamon or a mix of pumpkin spice would work but perhaps gently roll half of the ball in this mixture as it may be too overpowering.

    Storing chocolate truffles

    Keep the pumpkin chocolate truffles in a sealed container in the fridge. They are made of chocolate and cream which does not store well at room temperature. I would guess that these would last about 5 days or even more but they have been devoured in days in our house!

    Recipes Tips

    If your truffle mixture does not set firmly after an hour, you may need to add more chocolate. Gently reheat the mixture in a Bain Marie and add more chocolate chips to the mixture. Then chill.

    These would make a lovely gift for the holiday season in a pretty sweet box and set in truffle wrappers.
