Description

These no-bake truffles combine creamy goat cheese, sweet cranberries, and crunchy nuts for a perfect appetizer.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz chèvre (goat cheese), softened
  • 1-2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or pistachios)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or thyme (optional)


Instructions

  1. Let the goat cheese soften at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Mix softened cheese with honey, orange zest, and salt until smooth.
  3. Fold in dried cranberries and herbs (if using).
  4. Use a cookie scoop to portion mixture into 1-tbsp balls.
  5. Roll each ball in chopped nuts and extra cranberries to coat.
  6. Chill on a parchment-lined tray for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat goat cheese for the best texture; chill the mixture if too soft to roll.
