Equipment

• Food Processor

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

Truffle Filling

• 1 ripe banana (fair trade)
• 1/4 cup pumpkin pureé unsweetened
• 5-6 Tbsp coconut flour
• 1 Tbsp nut, seed, or coconut butter (I love Georgia Grinders nut butters, use FOODDBYMARS for 25% off, use coconut butter for AIP)

Pumpkin Spice Blend (can use your own or make it using these spices)

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves (omit for AIP)
• ground turmeric (for sprinkle on top)
• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom (omit for AIP)
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Chocolate Shell

• 1/4 cup dark chocolate or carob chips (carob for AIP, can also use cacao or carob powder and mix with coconut oil if you don't have chips)
• 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil melted

Instructions

• Add all filling ingredients to a food processor and blend until creamy (start with 5 Tbsp of the flour).
• Next, add in the pumpkin spice, and blend again to incorporate, taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
• The filling should be rolling into a ball but still be moist to touch, if it's not forming, you can add an additional Tbsp of coconut flour.
• Using a tablespoon, scoop out the filling and roll into balls, set them on parchment-lined plate or tray and chill for 15 mins or so in the fridge to set.
• Meanwhile, make the chocolate by mixing chocolate or carob with coconut oil, you can heat together either on a stove carefully or in the microwave for a minute or so. Mix well and adjust as needed (if using chocolate that's sweetened, you're all set, if not feel free to add honey or maple syrup if needed).
• Pour melted chocolate/carob into a bowl and dunk each truffle into the coating, using 2 forks you can roll the truffle around while shaking off the excess chocolate and placing back on the parchment paper. Return to the fridge to set for another 10 minutes or so (or can even put it in the freezer for a few minutes if you can't wait!) Serve and store in the fridge.
