Instructions

These goat cheese truffles may appear spectacular, but trust me when I say they are really simple to make. These goat cheese balls take me approximately 15 minutes to make from start to finish.

Combine: Combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, cinnamon, and honey in a large mixing bowl and whisk until light and fluffy. I prefer to use a hand mixer for this because it is MUCH simpler to combine the cheeses with a little electric power. After that, fold in a half cup of pecan chips.

Toppings: Line countertop with parchment paper. Toss together remaining pecan chips, dried cranberries and parsley in the center of the parchment paper.

Scoop: Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out one round of cheese filling and gently roll it in the cranberry/pecan mixture. Continue until all truffles have been rolled in coating.

Store: Refrigerate cheeseballs until ready to serve. You can make these up to three days before, just make sure and store them in an airtight container.

To Serve: Drizzle with honey, if desired. Serve with crackers, warm crostini or as is with a toothpick!
