01
Step 1
Start by putting the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and dropping the butter on top. Warm the cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it’s just about to simmer, but not boiling. Take it off the heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate and butter. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the chocolate can soften.

Step 2
After that, stir everything together until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and give it another good stir. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and pop it in the freezer for about an hour, or if you prefer, the fridge for 1 to 2 hours until it’s firm enough to scoop.

Step 3
While you wait, mix the pumpkin pie spice and sugar in a small bowl. Once the chocolate mixture is set, scoop out little mounds—about one or two teaspoons each—and roll them into balls with your hands. Then, roll the truffles in the pumpkin spice sugar mixture to coat them. Keep them chilled in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy.
