Yield Makes about 25 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
6 ounces (about 3/4 cup) fresh goat cheese (also known as goat fromage blanc, available in bulk at specialty foods shops)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted, for coating the truffles

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. In a bowl whisk together the goat cheese, the confectioners' sugar, the vanilla, and the lemon extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, whisk in the chocolate until the mixture is combined well, and chill the mixture, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is firm. Form heaping teaspoons of the mixture into balls and roll the balls in the cocoa powder. Chill the truffles on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper for 30 minutes, or until they are firm. The truffles keep in an airtight container, chilled, for 3 days.

Time 1h53m

Yield about 20 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
6 ounces fresh (mild) goat cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sweetened cocoa powder, sifted

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 and goat cheese for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize.
  • Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly before adding the goat cheese.
  • Mix the chocolate and goat cheese until well combined.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of cream or milk.
  • Roll the truffle mixture into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate.
  • To coat the truffles, melt the remaining chocolate and dip each truffle into the melted chocolate.
  • Place the coated truffles back on the baking sheet and refrigerate them until the chocolate has hardened.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese chocolate truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover goat cheese, and they are also a great gift idea.
