5 Cheeses Truffles

Happy new year everybody! ^^
What did you eat during the holidays? I'm soo curious!

Well I had a lot good food and I didn't cook almost at all lol I needed a "vacation"and to try new stuff!

Ramen was one of my favorite!

Well today I'm going to finally write the recipe for the cheese truffles that I made for an event one month ago ;)
They are pretty easy to make and the result is very savory!
You need a good mixer!

Ingredients: 

  • Fontina or Provolone cheese 50 gr ( 1.8 oz)
  • Gorgonzola cheese 50 gr ( 1.8 oz)
  • Parmesan cheese 50 gr ( 1.8 oz) grated
  • Gruyer cheese 50 gr ( 1.8 oz)
  • Ricotta cheese 200 gr ( 7 oz)
  • Chives 2 tablespoons 
  • Paprika (the sweet one) 2 tablespoons 
  • Poppy seeds 2 tablespoons 
  • Sesame seeds 2 tablespoons 
Preparation:

1. Cut the crust from the cheeses that have one and start dicing the fontina ad the gruyere cheese.
2. Put them in the mixer until they are finely chopped, add the ricotta cheese, the gorgonzola and the  parmesan. Keep in the mixer for about 2 minutes. the result should be a homogeneous cream.
3. Transfer the cream into a bowl that has a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, so it will be easier to manipulate the cream. 
4. After the two hours you can prepare 4 small bowls. One with chives, one with poppy seeds, one with paprika and the last one with sesame. Like this.
 5. With a spoon take a small quantity of the cream, ( using the spoon will help you select the same amount of cream every time), and with your hands manipulate the cream to form little balls ( not bigger than a nut).
When you have enough balls ready, roll them in the spices.
6. Reaaadyyyy!! When the cream is all gone and the balls colorful, you are done! Serve them in a large plate or in nice cake cups. 
P.s. Make sure you tell people that this is a savory dish.. I can't tell you how many people tried them and they were expecting it to taste sweet, so their faces went from this O_o  to  ˆ_ˆ lol
I loved their expressions.. and they came back for more ;)

Let me know if you make them! This recipe is great for parties.
