These pumpkin chocolates are delicious dark chocolate shells that hold a soft, spiced pumpkin filling. For the filling, I first made a cream with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and white chocolate; then I incorporated crumbled dry biscuits and finally a pumpkin puree and a spice mix. Making these chocolates is very easy and they are perfect for any occasion, plus they are also an original way to enjoy pumpkin.

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 3 oz white chocolate
- 3/4 cup dry biscuits
- spice mix (nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves)
- 7 oz dark chocolate
Preparation
To make the pumpkin chocolates, first prepare the pumpkin puree: clean and cut the pumpkin into pieces, removing the seeds and skin. Place the pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes.
When the pumpkin is slightly roasted and softened, remove it from the oven and mash it with a fork. Place the pumpkin puree in a sieve to drain excess water.
In a bowl, cream the cream cheese with the powdered sugar. Melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie and incorporate it into the cream cheese.
In a mixer, finely crumble the dry biscuits, reserving a tablespoon for garnish, and pour the rest into the bowl with the cream. Add the pumpkin puree and spice mix. Mix all the ingredients well until a soft and homogeneous mixture is obtained. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Then take some of the mixture with your hands or with a teaspoon and form balls the size of a walnut, or the desired size. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Put in the freezer for an hour.
Melt the dark chocolate and dip the pumpkin balls one by one into it. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and garnish with the crumbled biscuits set aside. Place the chocolates in the refrigerator to set the chocolate. Enjoy!
