Description

Imagine biting into a decadent treat where the rich flavors of pumpkin cheesecake meet the satisfying snap of dark chocolate. These delightful pumpkin cheesecake truffles offer a symphony of textures and tastes that will tantalize your taste buds. Each truffle begins with a creamy, pumpkin-infused cream cheese filling, reminiscent of a classic pumpkin cheesecake.

The pumpkin puree blends seamlessly with the cream cheese, creating a smooth and velvety texture that melts in your mouth. The filling is delicately spiced, with warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, evoking the comforting essence of autumn. These spices enhance the natural sweetness of the pumpkin, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

Once the filling is perfectly blended and chilled, it's shaped into bite-sized morsels, ready for their transformation. A luxurious dark chocolate coating envelops each truffle, adding a delightful contrast to the creamy interior. The dark chocolate, with its slightly bitter notes, complements the sweetness of the pumpkin and spices, creating a sophisticated and indulgent flavor profile.

As you bite into the truffle, the smooth chocolate shell gives way to the creamy pumpkin filling, creating a textural experience that is both satisfying and luxurious. Whether enjoyed chilled or frozen, these truffles offer a refreshing treat that can be enjoyed any time of year. Their festive flavors make them a perfect addition to holiday gatherings, while their elegant presentation makes them ideal for gifting.

For ease of preparation, consider using a scoop to portion the truffle filling. This will ensure uniformity and save you time. Simply scoop the filling onto parchment paper and allow it to chill before dipping.

These pumpkin cheesecake truffles are a delightful indulgence that will impress your friends and family with their exquisite flavor and texture. With their combination of creamy pumpkin filling and rich dark chocolate, they are sure to become a new favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Whip cold heavy cream in a stand mixer at high speed until a stiff whipped cream forms. Transfer the whipped cream aside to a clean bowl, and wipe out your mixing bowl with a paper towel before returning it to its stand. Using a paddle attachment, blend softened cream cheese until it is entirely smooth and lump-free. You may need to scrape down your mixing bowl with a spatula 1 or 2 times to achieve a smooth creamy consistency.
    2.
    Blend pumpkin puree, powdered erythritol (Swerve confectioner\'s sugar), vanilla extract, liquid stevia, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon into the mixer. Blend until you have a smooth pumpkin truffle filling. At this point, you may taste and adjust the filling by adding more liquid stevia, vanilla flavoring, or spices. Spread the mixture inside a loaf pan, cake pan, sheet tray, or any type of pan or tray that allows the truffle filling to be spread into an even layer.
    3.
    Place the truffle filling in your freezer, and chill it down until the filling can be scooped like ice cream (30-45 minutes). You do not want the filling to freeze completely. If the filling becomes too hard, you can bring down the temperature by setting it on your countertop to soften. When the filling is at the right temperature, scoop the filling into 2-tablespoon portions. Form the portions into small spheres or slightly larger half-spheres. Arrange the portions of filling on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
    4.
    Once all the portions are scooped and shaped, return the filling to your freezer for about 30 more minutes. Now, you want the filling to freeze through entirely. When the portions of pumpkin truffle filling are frozen, make the chocolate coating. Chop 100% dark chocolate into fine pieces, and add them to a heat-safe bowl. Add the coconut oil to the bowl, and place the bowl over a small pot filled with 1-inch of water (bain-marie). Heat the water so it begins to heat the bowl and melt the chocolate and oil. Stir until you have a smooth, liquid chocolate sauce, then stir the final amount of liquid stevia into the bowl.
    5.
    Remove the bowl of chocolate sauce from the hot water bath immediately, and place it on a potholder on your work surface. Stir the chocolate until it\'s no longer steaming but still warm. Pull your portions of pumpkin truffle filling out of the freezer, and dip them one by one into the chocolate. Transfer all dipped truffles to a clean sheet of parchment paper on a tray. The chocolate coating will set very quickly, but return the truffles to a refrigerator to chill for just 5 minutes before serving. Serve chilled for a cool, creamy candy, or serve frozen for a cold treat with a chocolate crunch.
