GRAPE TRUFFLES (GRAPE AND BLEU CHEESE)



Grape Truffles (Grape and Bleu Cheese) image

Adapted from a recipe from Tyler Florence. This is a sophisticated-looking appetizer just bursting with flavor. It's a bit time consuming to make, but worth it. When I made it, I ran out of ground nuts, yet still had cheese left over. I chopped up a few grapes, and sprinkled some chopped walnut pieces in the cheese and mixed it up for a nice bleu cheese spread, as a bonus. Prep and cook time includes chilling time.

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch seedless white grapes, washed and dried (about 1 1/2 pounds)
4 ounces cream cheese or 4 ounces neufchatel cheese, softened
8 ounces blue cheese, softened
3 tablespoons port wine
1 cup ground nuts (pistachios, preferably)

Steps:

  • Mash the cream and bleu cheese in a bowl until they are combined well.
  • Add the port.
  • Mix until all ingredients are very well combined.
  • Chill the cheese mixture for about an hour or two.
  • Using a regular spoon, scoop some cheese into the bowl of the spoon and using a grape, scrape the cheese out of the spoon.
  • Press the cheese around the grape and roll in your hands to completely cover it well.
  • Roll the cheese-covered grape in the ground nuts.
  • Continue with remaining grapes.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
  • Note: if you have leftover cheese, you can mix it with a few chopped nuts and some chopped grapes to make a delicious spread, too.
