Ingredients

• 115 g Cream cheese
• 115 g Gorgonzola cheese
• 15 g Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 60 g Chopped walnuts
• 15 g Chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Gorgonzola, and unsalted butter. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly combined throughout the cheese mixture.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to shape.

Step 4

While the cheese mixture is chilling, prepare the coating by finely chopping the walnuts and fresh chives. Mix them together in a shallow dish or plate.

Step 5

Once the cheese mixture is firm, use a tablespoon or small scoop to portion it into approximately 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball using your hands.

Step 6

Gently roll each truffle in the walnut and chive mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 7

Transfer the coated truffles to a serving plate or storage container. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 8

Serve the Gorgonzola Truffles cold or at room temperature as an appetizer or with crackers and wine for the perfect pairing.
