Zubereitung von Amazing Cheese Truffles
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and ground red pepper until completely smooth and well combined.
- Divide the cheese mixture in half.
- In one half, gently fold in the chopped roasted red peppers until evenly distributed.
- In the other half, gently fold in the chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
- Cover both bowls and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mixture to chill and firm up.
- Once chilled, roll each cheese mixture into 24 balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. (You'll have 12 of each flavor).
- Roll each cheese ball in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the finished cheese truffles on a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with your favorite crackers or chips.
