Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 g Cream cheese
- 115 g Gorgonzola cheese
- 15 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 60 g Chopped walnuts
- 15 g Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Gorgonzola, and unsalted butter. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly combined throughout the cheese mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to shape.
While the cheese mixture is chilling, prepare the coating by finely chopping the walnuts and fresh chives. Mix them together in a shallow dish or plate.
Once the cheese mixture is firm, use a tablespoon or small scoop to portion it into approximately 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball using your hands.
Gently roll each truffle in the walnut and chive mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Transfer the coated truffles to a serving plate or storage container. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serve the Gorgonzola Truffles cold or at room temperature as an appetizer or with crackers and wine for the perfect pairing.
