Cooking Steps
- Whisk together cream, honey, 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix and 2 tbsp of cocoa powder in a medium pot. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until cream mixture starts to simmer and small bubbles appear around the edges of the pot, 4-6 min.
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Place chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof metal bowl.
- Carefully pour cream mixture over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 min, then, using a spatula, gently stir until chocolate is completely melted and ganache is smooth.
- Immediately cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 30-35 min.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Allow almonds to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pot, crush almonds until coarse (or chop if you prefer).
- Transfer crushed almonds back to the plate.
- Line a plate with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add remaining cocoa powder to a shallow dish and set aside.
- Remove ganache from the freezer. Using a small spoon, scoop out six equal-sized ganache balls, then roll between palms to smooth.
- Roll half the truffles in cocoa powder until evenly coated. Roll remaining truffles in crushed almonds.
- Arrange truffles on the prepared plate and return to the fridge to firm for 30 min.
- Remove from the fridge and transfer to a serving plate.
