Hot Honey Pistachio Goat Cheese Truffles
A beautiful & festive holiday appetizer! Absolutely DELICIOUS! Super easy to whip up to bring to a holiday party!
Ingredients
- 4oz goat cheese
- 8oz cream cheese
- 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 3 Tbsp Mike’s Hot Honey, plus extra for finishing
- 1/4 + 1/4 cups pistachios, crushed & divided
- 1/4 + 1/4 cups dried cherries, finely chopped & divided
- 2 + 2 Tbsp chives, chopped & divided
Directions
In a small bowl, beat together the goat cheese, cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and Mike’s Hot Honey until light and fluffy. Add 1/4 cup crushed pistachios, 1/4 cup chopped dried cherries, and 2 Tbsp chopped chives; fold to combine. Scrape to bottom of bowl to form a ball of sorts inside the bowl, wrap with cling wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours (or overnight) to allow to slightly harden again (this will allow making the balls easier).
Line your countertop with parchment paper. Toss together remaining crushed pistachios, chopped dried cherries, and chopped chives in the center of the parchment paper.
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out one round of cheese filling and toss in the cherry/pistachio mixture. Continue until all truffles have been rolled in coating. Refrigerate cheeseballs until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, drizzle truffles with additional Mike’s Hot Honey. Serve with pretzel sticks or pita crackers!
Enjoy!
