Pumpkin Truffles 🧡 I ordered a pumpkin and instead received a pumpkin pie sooo what else could I do?
PS: this is a GREAT way to use pumpkin pie leftovers btw! Mine were pretty Bourbon forward but could have handled more, you can start with 2 shots and adjust from there.

Why You’ll Love Pumpkin Truffles
These are the most delicious boozy truffles of the season! They are perfect for the fall season and the holidays. These are super easy to make, and a perfect dessert if you are hosting! The dark chocolate balances out a lot of the sweetness. They are crunchy on the outside, and smooth on the inside! You won’t be able to eat just one… I’m telling you, they are addicting lol.
How To Prepare Pumpkin Truffles
🥧 First, cut up your pie into large chunks. Then, add it all to the food processor but reserve a bit of the crust for crumbling on top.
🍾 Secondly, process for a few seconds. Then, add in the bourbon, I would start with 1-2 shots and go from there. Adjust to your taste.
❄️ Process until smooth. Then, let the mixture sit in the freezer for 1 hour.
🧊 Then, form the balls and let them sit in the freezer for another hour.
🌟 Smooth them out with your hands and let sit in the freezer for 30 minutes.
🍫 Then, coat in dark chocolate and let sit in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
❤️ Lastly, top with the reserved crumbled crust and that’s it.
🎃 Store in the fridge.
Substitutions and Variations
- You can use whiskey or vodka instead of bourbon.
- You can use your chocolate of choice. I chose to use dark chocolate, because the inside of the truffles is already sweet enough, and I don’t love overly sweet desserts.
- You can use any pie of choice, it doesn’t have to be pumpkin.
Chef Nadia’s Tip
Make sure you reserve some of the pie crust for topping!
