One of the markers of being a Pace (my family’s last name) is having an insatiable sweet tooth. My cousin, and classically trained chef, Heather has found a way to have your cake and eat it too. By using whole, quality, nutrient-dense ingredients she creates desserts that satisfy your sweet tooth, but are high in good fats, have no refined sugar, are gluten-free and VERY satisfying. It’s an honour to finally feature one of her recipes. Check out her incredible blog here. – Alana
With pumpkin puree still available from Thanksgiving, it’s the perfect time to share a festive recipe with you. These pumpkin truffles are super easy to make but are so elegant and tasty, that you’ll be sure to amaze your guests!
Pumpkin Truffles
Pumpkin Filling
Chocolate
NB: You can substitute dark, store bought chocolate to make this recipe simpler. I would recommend organic, fair trade. If melting regular chocolate, see here for how-tos.

Before I read your post and just saw the picture I thought to myself… ‘those look delicious, but I bet they are way too difficult to make’ You see…I am not much of a baker, so things like this overwhelm me. But then I read it…and I think I was wrong! I am actually going to attempt these and I am SO excited to!

These truffles look delicious! I can’t wait to try them! Chocolate is a big weakness of mine. So many of the recipes call for a ton of sugar and end up wreaking havoc on my diet. I found a great tool on Registered Dietician Sofia Abdelkafi’s website that analyzes my recipes and lets me know if they are really healthy or not and how much I can eat while sticking with my diet.
