Grape Truffles Grape And Bleu Cheese


Adapted from a recipe from tyler florence. This is a sophisticated-looking appetizer just bursting with flavor. It's a bit time consuming to make, but worth it. When i made it, i ran out of ground nuts, yet still had cheese left over. I chopped up a few grapes, and sprinkled some chopped walnut pieces in the cheese and mixed it up for a nice bleu cheese spread, as a bonus. Prep and cook time includes chilling time.

Steps


Mash the cream and bleu cheese in a bowl until they are combined well.
Add the port.
Mix until all ingredients are very well combined.
Chill the cheese mixture for about an hour or two.
Using a regular spoon , scoop some cheese into the bowl of the spoon and using a grape , scrape the cheese out of the spoon.
Press the cheese around the grape and roll in your hands to completely cover it well.
Roll the cheese-covered grape in the ground nuts.
Continue with remaining grapes.
Chill until ready to serve.
