  14. Sheena Lyn says:

    These were a huge hit on Thanksgiving. My husband and father were raving about them. Thank you so much for sharing :)

  15. Jeanie says:

    Do you have a recipe for gingersnaps, to make the crumbs? I didn't see one when I searched your site. Also, how many cookies would make 3/4 cup of crumbs? Thanks.

  16. Cyd says:

    We have a new sister site MyRecipeMagic.com with hundreds and hundreds of recipes. We found a delicious Ginger spice cookie that you could make and then turn into crumbs. Here is the link - http://myrecipemagic.com/recipe/recipedetail/ginger-spice-cookies. Just keep crushing the cookies til you get 3/4 cup. Depends on the size of the cookie to get 3/4 of a cup. If they are too moist, just let them dry out for a day and they will crush better.

  17. Jeanie says:

    Thanks!

  18. Jeanie says:

    I made these, and they were a success. Do you know if they freeze well?Also, have you considered giving comment-ers the option of subscribing, so they know when someone responds to their comment?Thanks, as always.

  19. Cyd says:

    These freeze great in an airtight container!

  20. Jeanie says:

    Thank you! It wound up not mattering - I'd taken them to work and they were all eaten.Funny thing - When you've had them out of the fridge for a while, the filling expands and breaks the shell! :-)

  21. Jill says:

    I made these at least three times last holiday season. They were a huge hit every time. I'm sure I'll have to make them again this year or else I'll hear about it! People's faces just light up when they taste them!

  22. Laura says:

    These look incredibly yummy... Cannot wait to make them! My daughter in law will be my BFF if In make them for her! ;-) Thanks for the recipe!

  23. Morgan says:

    These look fantastic and I'd love to bring them to my Thanksgiving dinner. I did have a question, though. When you add the ingredients to the cooled white chocolate in the beginning, how does the chocolate not seize up when the cooler ingredients are added? If they are all at room temperature (including the cream cheese), will it be OK? I have had an incredible amount of trouble with chocolate in the past and would love any tips!

  24. Cyd says:

    The ingredients are not that cool so the white chocolate does not seize up. After you mix it all together, that is when you cool it down so it can set up and be rolled into balls. These are fine to set out for a few hours for your Thanksgiving dinner. Would refrigerate after a few hours to be safe.

  25. Kennyatta says:

    Well you could do what my dad and I did when I was little and I still do occasionally today if I don't just bake the filling in a pie pan: dig a spoon into the pie and just eat the filling and leave the crust. We drove mom nuts doing this LOL

  26. Sandy_of_WV says:

    Wondering if anyone has made these... "without" ...gingersnap cookie crumbs? Dislike that flavor -- thinking of making with 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs instead.

  27. Amanda says:

    Did you just do the dark chocolate on the outside?

  28. Diana says:

    Sampled a frozen pumpkin ball prior to dipping in white chocolate. Oh my! These are going to be deadly! :) I used fresh pumpkin purée... it was divine.

  29. Cyd says:

    We used white chips on the outside.

  30. Amanda says:

    Making these for our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. I used the new Greek Cream Cheese and so far has seemed to work well. One question - the filling is not as thick as say oreo truffles are - Can you add extra cookie/graham crumbs to thicken up the filling a bit without ruining the flavor? Has anyone tried this? I added extra cinnamon and I also added some homemade pumpkin pie spice to increase the flavor in mine (my husband always complains that pumpkin recipes are too bland) and it worked out beautifully - the flavor is perfect for us. Letting the filling sit in fridge overnight and finishing in the morning. Hoping I have enough time!!

  31. Baker Sam says:

    These look amazing .... Can you by chance tell me how many ginger snaps I will need is one box enough ???

  32. Cyd says:

    One box will be plenty. Should even have some left over for munching!!

  33. Diamond says:

    Wow!!! Rave reviews from all who enjoyed them. These truffles will not disappoint even those who didn't want to like them !! Fantastic recipe, no changes needed and how lovely you shared it with us all....Bless.

FAQs

What is the best pumpkin to use for pumpkin pie? ›

For cooking, you'll want to use sugar pumpkins (also called pie or sweet pumpkins), which are small and round. Long Island Cheese pumpkins, which are more oblong and can look like a wheel of cheese, are also good to eat. Field pumpkin types are larger, have watery, stringy flesh, and are best for decorating.

What to cook with truffles? ›

They pair well with pasta, soups, potatoes, and dishes like risotto. It is typically recommended to avoid using white truffle oil on a heavier dish as the flavors may not pair well, but do not be afraid to experiment.

Why does pumpkin pie take so long to bake? ›

Baking time varies with the size and depth of the pie pan, as well as the material it's made of (metal, glass, or ceramic). The type of pumpkin used (fresh or canned) and the altitude you're baking at also affect baking time.

Can you use regular pumpkins for pumpkin pie? ›

Start with the right variety of pumpkins, sugar pumpkins. Large pumpkins that we traditionally think of as jack-o-lanterns aren't ideal for pie as they are very stringy and have a lot of seeds. There really isn't very much “meat” to the larger pumpkins. Sugar pumpkins, also known as pie pumpkins, are sweeter.

What kind of pan is best for pumpkin pie? ›

Pie made in a metal pan

Of the three pies, the metal pan had the most even browning across the entire bottom crust. From the outer edge to the very center, the crust was golden brown and thoroughly baked. If I had my choice of pans, I'd go with an aluminum one like this.

What is the difference between canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie mix? ›

They are the same product. Both canned pumpkin puree and pie filling are useful, shelf-stable ingredients that can help speed up your kitchen prep time. Just remember that puree is unsweetened, while pie filling contains sugar and spices. This will help you choose the right pumpkin product for your recipes.

Why is truffle so expensive? ›

Why are truffles so expensive? Pound for pound, truffle is one of the most expensive foods you can buy. The reason behind such high costs is the scarcity of the produce, truffles are seasonal, extremely difficult to grow, and take many years to cultivate. They also have a short shelf life.

What is the best way to cook truffles? ›

Avoid a lot of heat: Don't cook them too much or you will drive off much of the flavour and aroma. If using in a hot dish, such as a soup or sauce, slice or grate the truffle in just before serving or warm briefly in a little oil. Use quickly: The strength of the truffle flavour will naturally decrease over time.

What makes truffles taste so good? ›

Truffles have a deep aroma and strong fragrance that are a prelude to their taste. Earthy, musky and pungent, the best way to describe their taste is by putting them in the umami category. Also known as the fifth taste, this lesser-known flavor is savory and reminiscent of meat, broth, and fish.

Is it better to make pumpkin pie the day before or day of? ›

Pumpkin pie is a great make-ahead dessert to cross off your Thanksgiving to-do list. You can prepare and bake the pie up to two days in advance, and it will still taste great on the big day. Just make sure you store the pie in the refrigerator—not on the kitchen counter—until you are ready to serve it.

How can you tell when a pumpkin pie is fully baked? ›

If the pie jiggles (but doesn't wiggle), then it's done. You should also see that the filling has darkened and the texture of the pie should be a bit puffed up from when you put it in the oven. If you're still uncertain, stick a knife (or a toothpick) in the center and see if it comes out clean.

Can I put my undercooked pumpkin pie back in the oven? ›

Note that if your test determines an undercooked pumpkin pie, return it to the oven and bake a few minutes longer before testing it again.

What happens if you use pumpkin pie mix instead of pumpkin puree? ›

Pumpkin pie mix can be used as a substitute for pure canned pumpkin in some recipes. However, since it is already sweetened and flavored, you'll need to make some adjustments. In most dessert recipes, leave out the pumpkin pie spice and cut down on the sugar since the pumpkin pie mix includes it.

Can I use canned pumpkin instead of fresh? ›

When it comes to baking, I think you'd be fine using either canned or fresh. I'll always keep a few cans of regular pumpkin puree in my pantry because I love to bake with the stuff. It's certainly significantly easier!

Is 100% canned pumpkin the same as pumpkin puree? ›

Canned pumpkin and pumpkin puree are the same thing. These terms are often used interchangeably in recipes, though you may also see the term solid-pack pumpkin. All these terms mean 100% steamed and pureed pumpkin—no extras, no add-ins—not even in the canned variety.

What kind of pumpkin does Costco use in their pies? ›

Dickinson pumpkins are not the orange jack-o'-lantern canvas you're picturing; rather, they're beige with smooth sides. The heirloom breed of pumpkin is grown in Illinois and sold to Costco in canned form—the store goes through 1.2 million cans of said pumpkin in peak pie season.

What is the difference between pie pumpkins and regular pumpkins? ›

Pie pumpkins, also called sugar pumpkins, usually weigh 1 to 6 pounds. Their flesh is denser and sweeter that the bigger ones, which are called carving or jack-o'-lantern pumpkins. The biggies have a moister, softer interior with a bigger seed cavity, and the flesh tends to be stringier.

What is the best canned pumpkin to use? ›

The Best Overall: Libby's 100% Pure Canned Pumpkin

The 100+ year old company bought the rights to grow a special kind of Dickinson pumpkin for their brand, and that is one of the key reasons their canned pumpkin is so reliable and consistent year after year.

Is canned pumpkin the same as canned pumpkin puree? ›

Canned pumpkin and pumpkin puree are the same thing, and you'll often see the terms used interchangeably in recipes and cookbooks. Unlike pumpkin pie mix, canned pumpkin does not have any spices, sugars, or other additives. In many cases, the only ingredient is pumpkin.
