Trufas de calabaza

Ingredienti

• 15 Golden Oreo cookies
• 5 ounces softened cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon cloves
• 1/8 teaspoon ginger
• 2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
• Toothpick or fork for dipping

Preparazione

1. 1

   In a food processor, grind the Oreos until powdery. Set aside 1-2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos, and mix in a pinch of cinnamon for color.

2. 2

   Pour the majority of the Oreos into a medium bowl and stir in cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and spices until homogenous. Place mix into refrigerator and cool for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Once the truffles are cold, using a rounded tablespoon, roll the dough into balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.

4. 4

   Next, melt the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring well in between each heating.

5. 5

   Using a toothpick or fork, dip balls into melted chocolate and return them to the baking sheet to cool. To garnish, sprinkle the 1-2 tablespoons of Oreos set aside from earlier. Place in freezer until hardened. Voilà!
