Instructions

1. Make the “Oreo” Dough

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

• Almond flour

• Cocoa powder

Add vanilla extract and 2–3 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil).
Mix until a soft, cookie-dough texture forms.

 If crumbly, add 1 tsp melted butter at a time until it holds together.

2. Make the Pumpkin Filling

In a separate bowl:

• Beat cream cheese until smooth

• Mix in pumpkin purée, sweetener, spices

• Beat until thick, creamy, and lump-free

 If filling feels loose, chill for 10–15 minutes.

3. Combine & Chill

• Gently fold pumpkin filling into the chocolate dough

• Dough should be soft but scoopable

• Chill mixture 30–40 minutes until firm enough to roll

4. Roll Into Balls

• Scoop about 1 tablespoon per ball

• Roll between palms

• Place on parchment-lined tray

Freeze balls 20 minutes before dipping (important for clean coating).

5. Melt Chocolate

• Microwave chocolate + coconut oil in 30-second bursts

• Stir until glossy and smooth

6. Dip & Set

• Dip each ball using a fork

• Tap off excess chocolate

• Return to parchment paper

Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon or crushed keto cookies on top.

7. Final Chill

• Refrigerate 30 minutes or freeze 10 minutes

• Chocolate will harden and filling will set perfectly

• Freezer: Up to 2 months
