How to Make Gorgonzola Truffles

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt using an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll.
  3. Once chilled, roll the cheese mixture into 1-inch balls (approximately 24 truffles).
  4. For the bacon version: Wrap each truffle with a small piece of cooked, crumbled bacon. For the pecan version: Roll each truffle in 1/2 cup of chopped, toasted pecans.
  5. Serve immediately or chill again until ready to serve. If chilled, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to allow them to soften slightly.
  6. Serve with apple and pear slices and grapes for a delightful contrast of flavors.
