Ingredients
for the cheese truffle mixture
- 7 ounces cream cheese softened (take out of the fridge a little ahead)
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ cup cheddar cheese grated (or other tasty grated cheese)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
for the coatings
- ½ cup dried cranberries chopped finely (I do this in a mini food processor)
- ½ cup walnuts chopped finely (also done in a mini food processor) (alternatives: chopped apricots or other dried fruit, pistachios, paprika, fresh chopped herbs)
Instructions
- Mix together the cream cheese, grated cheeses, garlic powder and paprika in a bowl, then cover and chill for at least 30 minutes (overnight is perfect).
- Combine your chopped cranberries and walnuts or other chosen toppings on a plate.
- Roll teaspoons of cheese mixture into truffle/ball shapes, then roll them in your plate of toppings. Place on a plate or on baking paper, and chill until ready to eat.
Notes
- Storing: You can store the finished truffles in the fridge (in an airtight container) for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze any mixture you don’t want to use immediately for up to 2 months, then defrost and roll and coat when needed.
- To serve: Delicious served on a cheese board with crackers, breads, fruit, vegetables, chutneys and fruit!
