How to Make Herb And Garlic Goat Cheese Truffles
- In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 4 ounces of goat cheese, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice using an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
- Once firm, shape the cheese mixture into 24 small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
- Roll each cheese ball in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans until completely coated.
- Cover and chill the truffles for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the pecans to adhere and the flavors to deepen.
- Serve immediately with your favorite fresh fruit for a sophisticated and refreshing treat.
