If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!
Measurements In Grams:
15 grams butter
130 grams of pumpkin
120 grams white chocolate
85 grams graham crackers
130 grams All-Purpose Flour
2 grams pumpkin pie spice
1 gram ginger
1 gram nutmeg
30 grams condensed milk (optional)
30 grams chocolate chips
50 grams granulated sugar
Kitchen Equipment
Medium sized saucepan
medium sized bowl
whisk or rubber spatula
1/3 cup cookie scooper
Instructions:
Step 1
Scoop pumpkin onto a plate and drain as much water from it as possible using a paper towel or a cloth dishtowel.
Step 2
Combine drained pumpkin, white chocolate, butter, and condensed milk in a medium sized saucepan.
Put this over medium heat until mixture is smooth, fully combined, and chocolate is melted.
Step 3
Pull off of heat and add in crushed graham cracker, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and ginger.
Heat up flour in microwave for 60 seconds (this is called heat-treating) to remove any bacteria. Let mixture cool a bit and fold this in until there are no chunks.
Step 4
Let this cool in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
Once chilled, form 1 tbsp scoops and roll into balls. Let these chill for 10 minutes before using a toothpick to make indents on the sides.
Step 5
Lastly add a chocolate chip on top and roll in granulated sugar and you are done! You can eat fresh or store these in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
