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.

These truffles are a bit too firm for my taste. I think I'll try letting them soften at room temperature for a bit before serving.

The goat cheese flavor is a bit too strong for me. I think I'll try using less goat cheese next time.

These truffles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried many goat cheese chocolate truffle recipes and this one is by far the best. The goat cheese adds a tangy flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate.
