The primary recipe up is my Cranberry Pecan Gouda Truffles.
This isn’t my first foray into the cheese truffle enterprise. I’ve been impressed for years by the gorgeous contemporary goat cheesecakes of Provence.
Small hockey puck-sized cheesecakes, dusted with every kind of herb mixtures and fairly peppers. They’re out of this world, particularly those topped with pink peppercorns!
Prior to now, I’ve reinterpreted the pucks into bite-sized cheese balls, rolled in every kind of fine issues.
This yr I opted for cream cheese as the bottom with shredded gouda cheese to create one thing easy and nutty. As soon as the cheese combination is mixed and seasoned properly, simply roll small balls of cheese and coat them in chopped pecans, cranberries, and for a little bit of freshness, parsley.
Serve the Cranberry Pecan Gouda Truffles in a martini glass with French bread or crackers, or organize them on a board for simple entry. Both method, visitors will devour these nuggets of goodness.
