Chocolate Goat Cheese Truffles B-S image

This is from another site and this is what the posters had to say about this recipe: "I know what you are thinking -- Goat Cheese in a truffle?? Trust me, these are sooo good! If you hate goat cheese, I wouldn't suggest them. There is a slight tangy aftertaste, but primarily it is a sweet, chocolatey and tangy flavor that I am addicted to. The consistency is killer." I don't know how many this makes. It all depends on the size of the truffles.

Time 2h

Yield 1 batch, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
6 ounces mild fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted

Steps:

  • In the top of a double boiler, or in a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water (make sure the water does not touch the bowl), melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth.
  • Set the melted chocolate aside to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • In a bowl whisk together the goat cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it is light and fluffy.
  • Whisk in the melted chocolate until it is well combined.
  • Chill, covered, until it is firm, at least 1 hour.
  • To form the truffles, take a heaping teaspoon of the chocolate/cheese mixture and lightly roll it into a ball with your hands.
  • Roll the finished truffles in the sifted cocoa powder, set them onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper, and chill until they are firm, about 30 minutes.
  • The truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
