Step by step
Instructions
The biggest shortcut is to use ready-made pumpkin purée and crush the sponge cookies in a blender. If your purée is thinner, let it drain for 10 minutes in a fine sieve beforehand or add a bit more cookie crumbs to the mixture. You can prepare the balls a day in advance and insert the sticks just before serving so the savory sticks don’t get soggy.

Variants and alternatives
For a stronger color add a pinch of turmeric or a drop of orange gel food coloring. Use mascarpone instead of žervé for a creamier, sweeter result. Replace some of the sponge cookies with butter biscuits for a more caramel flavor. Roll the finished balls lightly in finely ground cinnamon cookies.
