Steps:
- In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth, remove the bowl from the pan, and let the chocolate cool slightly.

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the goat cheese is cold before using. This will help it hold its shape better when you roll the truffles.
- If the truffle mixture is too soft, chill it for a few minutes before rolling. If it's too dry, add a little more cream or milk.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for a festive look.
- Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Bring them to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Chocolate goat cheese truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're rich, creamy, and have a unique flavor that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these truffles a try. You won't be disappointed!
