Ingredients

1Pkg Kinnikinnick Vanilla Wafers (180g)
½ (4oz) pkg. cream cheese (softened) (125g)
1/3 cup pumpkin puree (80g)
1 tsp lemon juice (5g)
1 tsp cinnamon (2g)
2tbsp shortening (26g)
9 ounces white chocolate (chopped) (265g)
Option: orange and green food colouring

Directions (Filling)

In a food processor, finely grind Kinnikinnick Vanilla Wafers. In a bowl, mix cream cheese until soft. Add ground vanilla wafers, pumpkin puree, lemon juice and cinnamon. Mix until combined and texture is soft. Divide mixture into 17 portions and form into a ball. Let set in fridge for 4 hours or overnight. Pull truffles out of refrigerator 10 minutes prior to dipping in chocolate (this will help prevent the chocolate from cracking).

In a medium sauce pan melt chopped chocolate and shortening. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Directions (To Finish)

Use a fork to dip truffles in melted chocolate, allow excess chocolate to drip off prior to placing on parchment paper. You may want to dip truffles twice. Option: Garnish with cinnamon sugar mixture prior to chocolate setting. Let set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight. Yields 17 truffles
