Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Seedless red or green grapes
- 150 grams Bleu cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 100 grams Pistachios (or other nuts like walnuts or pecans), finely chopped
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes. Set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bleu cheese and the softened cream cheese. Use a fork or spatula to mix until smooth and well combined.
Using clean hands or a small spoon, scoop out a small portion of the cheese mixture (about 1-2 teaspoons) and flatten it slightly in your palm.
Place one grape in the center of the cheese mixture and gently mold the cheese around the grape until it is fully coated. Repeat this process for all grapes.
Roll the coated grapes in the finely chopped pistachios (or nuts of choice), pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Place the finished truffles on a serving tray or a lined plate. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled as an elegant appetizer or snack.
