Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) pumpkin pie
- 16 oz (454 g) vanilla candy coating or almond bark
- ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- Deconstruction: Pulverize chilled pumpkin pie into fine fragments, combining filling and crust in an electric mixer until transformed into a uniform, cohesive blend.
- Shaping: Craft uniform spherical morsels using hands or cookie scoop, positioning precisely on parchment-lined tray with minimal intervals between each ball.
- Chilling: Solidify the spheres in freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerator for 2 hours, ensuring structural integrity and optimal compactness.
- Coating: Liquefy vanilla candy coating through gentle heat, creating a silky glaze. Immerse each chilled sphere completely, utilizing a fork to guarantee seamless coverage and eliminate excess dripping.
- Garnishing: While coating remains fluid, dust reserved pie crust fragments across the surface, implementing a rustic, textural embellishment. Allow balls to rest at ambient temperature until coating crystallizes entirely.
- Serving: Transfer completed pumpkin pie spheres to elegant display platter or sealed container. These confections can be savored immediately or preserved in refrigeration for up to 5 days, maintaining peak deliciousness.
Notes
- Chilling Technique: Freeze or refrigerate pie balls to help them maintain shape and enhance structural integrity during coating process.
- Coating Pro Tip: Use fork when dipping to ensure smooth, even candy coating coverage without disturbing ball’s delicate structure.
- Crumb Garnish Strategy: Sprinkle reserved pie crust crumbs immediately after coating while surface remains wet for maximum adhesion.
- Storage Wisdom: Refrigerate completed pumpkin pie balls up to 5 days, keeping them fresh and maintaining optimal texture and flavor.
