Kristen’s Pumpkin Chai Truffles

No baking required for these sweet treats!

Yield: 20-24 Truffles

Ingredients:
• 6 tbsp. of Big Train Pumpkin Pie Chai Powder
• 15 oz. of Crushed Graham Crackers (about two sleeves)
• 12 oz. of White Chocolate Chips (melted)
• 8 oz. of Cream Cheese
• ½ can of Pumpkin Puree

Optional Garnish: Crushed Graham Crackers 

Directions: This recipe is easily put together in the food processor for minimal clean up, but can also be done in a mixer or by hand. Start by crushing up your graham crackers (reserve three tablespoons for garnish). Add in your softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, and chai powder. Mix until you get a creamy consistency. Place the mixture in the fridge for about thirty minutes to firm up and then scoop out rounded tablespoons and form into balls. Put the balls in the freezer for one hour. After chilling, dip the balls into melted white chocolate, place on parchment paper to harden and sprinkle with reserved graham crackers.

Kristen’s Pumpkin Chai Donuts

Donuts are not just designated for breakfast anymore. Take these sweet treats to the pumpkin patch or on a hayride; they are best served anywhere! 

Yield: 18 Donuts

Ingredients:
• ½ cup of Vegetable Oil 
• 1 can of Pumpkin Puree 
• ½ cup of Big Train Pumpkin Pie Chai 
• 2 large Eggs 
• 1 ½ cups of Flour
• 1 tsp. of Baking Soda
• 1 tsp. of Baking Powder 
• ¼ tsp. of Salt

Optional Garnish: Cinnamon Sugar

Directions: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray your donut pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl combine oil, pumpkin puree, and chai. Then add in flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix together. Place the mixture in a piping bag (or a large Ziploc bag with the corner cut off will work too). When piping donuts in the pan do not fill all the way—allow a little room for the donut to rise. Bake for 15 minutes, pull out and allow to cool for five minutes before dipping in the cinnamon sugar mixture. These donuts are dense and store best in the fridge in an airtight container. If you like a lighter fluffier donut, scale back on the pumpkin puree.
