Mickey Pumpkin Truffle Recipe

Disney

I love the Mickey pumpkins that decorate wreaths throughout the Magic Kingdom. They're just so happy! Just in time for Halloween, Disney has shared a fun recipe inspired by those mousey pumpkins.

Mickey Pumpkin Truffles

36 chocolate sandwich cookies

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 package orange candy melts

Yellow, orange, and green fondant

Pulse sandwich cookies in a food processor until crumbly. In a medium mixing bowl, stir cookies and cream cheese until a dough-like consistency forms. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and chill on a baking sheet for at least an hour.

Roll out 48 small orange balls of fondant to form Mickey ears. Melt candy melts in the microwave. Dip a chilled truffle in the melted candy melts and toss until the truffle is fully coated. Place onto a lined baking sheet. Quickly place two ears on the top sides of the truffle. 

Roll out the green fondant into a thin layer. Cut out leaf shapes and gently carve details into the leaves. Make thin coils for vines and stems. Use a toothpick to apply a small amount of melted candy melt to adhere the leaves, stems, and vines to the tops of the truffles.

Roll out the yellow fondant into a thin layer. Cut out the Mickey Pumpkin’s eyes, nose, and mouth. For the eyes, cut out ovals and use orange candy melt to apply the inner eye pieces. Use more candy melt to adhere the rest of the face to the truffles.

These Mickey pumpkin truffles sound delightful. I can't wait to try them!
