Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 hand mixer
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree, mixing well.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top with a spoon.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes.
  • Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl and mix in the coconut flakes.
  • Shape the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  • Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
  • Garnish each truffle with white chocolate shavings before the coating sets.
  • Allow the truffles to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cake is thoroughly cooled before crumbling to prevent it from becoming too moist. When melting the white chocolate, be cautious not to overheat it, as this can cause it to seize. You can customize the flavor by adjusting the spice levels or adding a dash of clove for extra warmth.
