Truffle Shuffle

Sometimes you just need something sweet. And sometimes you find yourself with leftover goat cheese, a random bottle of triple sec, and a miracle of a recipe that will combine those things into the most perfect of sweets: the truffle.


In gathering my ingredients (goat cheese, powdered sugar, triple sec, citrus zest), I assumed I would need to pick up chocolate before indulging in this little dessert adventure. A quick glance at the cocoa powder container revealed a little-known (to me) tip. If you mix just a touch of oil with with a pile of powder, you can create a perfect replacement for bittersweet baking chocolate!

Mixed all up and decked out in sprinkles, these truffles made my day... and a few days afterwards.
