Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese Truffles

Pecan Cranberry goat cheese truffles: festive ball mini cheese takes only 15 minutes and loaded with creamy goat cheese, cranberries and crunchy pecans!

This Pecan Cranberry goat cheese truffles made with a mixture of goat cheese and cream cheese.


Cream cheese is simply there as a filler of cheese to save money. You can't feel it, goat cheese is definitely still the flavor of the cheese.

Then we add a bit of honey, cinnamon and Pecans some. Whip it together and then use a cookie scoop to easily create form ball truffles without making a mess.
To finish it off, we roll them more pecans, craisins and chopped parsley.

INGREDIENTS :
  • 10 oz goat cheese
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup diced dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons honey, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 1/2 cups Fisher Nuts pecan chips, divided


DIRECTIONS :
  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, goat cheese, cinnamon and honey until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup Pecan chips, fold to combine. Set aside.
  2. The line of countertop with parchment paper. Stir remaining Pecan chips, dried cranberries and parsley in the center of the parchment paper.
  3. Use a large cookie scoop, scoop out a round of cheese filling and threw in a mixture of pecans. Continue until all the truffles have been rolled in layers. (Watch the video above to see how I do this.)
  4. Cheeseballs chill until ready to serve. You can create up to three days before, just make sure and keep it in an airtight container.
  5. To serve: Drizzle with honey, if desired. Serve with warm biscuits, crostini or as is with a toothpick!
