Biscoff Pumpkin Truffles

Little mouthfuls of speculaas cookie crumbs with pumpkin and autumn spices, wrapped in a deliciously crisp white chocolate coating.  Perfect for autumn (fall) and pumpkin season, but we especially love them at Christmas!
Prep Time20 minutes
Refrigeration1 hour 30 minutes
Course: Afternoon Tea, Christmas, Dessert, party food
Cuisine: American, Australian
Servings: 35

Ingredients

  • 55 g cream cheese room temperature
  • 15 g icing sugar
  • 70 g pumpkin puree see notes
  • 175 g Lotus Biscoff biscuits crushed, plus a little extra for decorating
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice see notes
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 115 g white chocolate melted, see notes
  • 290 g white chocolate melts see notes

Instructions

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until creamy
  • Add the pumpkin and beat until combined
  • Add the crushed biscoff biscuits, spices and the melted chocolate
  • Mix until well combined, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour
  • After the mixture has been refrigerated, use a small cookie scoop to scoop the mixture and roll into balls. Place the rolled balls onto a lined baking tray
  • Refrigerate the rolled balls for 30 minutes

Melting the white chocolate melts

  • Place the melts into a microwave safe container and heat on 60% for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate vigorously, then do another 30 seconds on 60%. If it hasn't melted completely after stirring, heat for another 30 seconds
  • If the chocolate starts to thicken during dipping, just give it another 10-20 seconds in the microwave

Decorating

  • After dipping the truffles in the chocolate, sprinkle with the extra biscoff crumbs. I do this after I've dipped 3-4 balls, so the chocolate is still a little sticky
  • Truffles will last in the fridge for a week, or the freezer for 3 months

Notes

  • canned pumpkin can usually be found in the international section of Australian supermarkets
  • pumpkin pie spice is available in Australia in specialty spice stores, but you can also make your own, using equal amounts ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice
  • while I always use high quality chocolate (Lindt, Callebaut) for baking, I find Nestle white chocolate melts the best for coating these truffles.  The melts are whiter and thinner when melted, making them perfect for coating.  I still use melted white chocolate for the truffle mixture though
