Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Sharp cheddar cheese
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 50 grams Crushed almonds
- 50 grams Crushed walnuts
- 200 grams Crackers or breadsticks (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Add the garlic powder and paprika to the cheese mixture and stir to incorporate the flavors.
Divide the cheese mixture into small, equal portions and roll each portion into a ball to form truffles. You should end up with about 12-15 truffles, depending on your portion sizes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives. Place the chopped herbs into a shallow dish or plate.
In another shallow dish, mix the crushed almonds and walnuts together to create a nut coating.
Roll one-third of the truffles in the herb mixture to coat evenly. Roll another third in the nuts, and leave the remaining truffles plain or lightly sprinkle them with additional paprika for a simple garnish.
Arrange the truffles on a serving platter, optionally paired with crackers or breadsticks for scooping or spreading.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. Allow to come to room temperature for optimal flavor before serving.
