Handmade chocolates are delicious, healthy, and always a hit, especially when you combine chocolate and goat cheese in one. The dessert is moderately sweet, with a slight cheesy tartness—just like miniature chocolate cheesecakes! Soft goat cheese is whipped with powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mixed with dark chocolate melted in a double boiler. Once the mixture has set and becomes pliable, roll it into balls. To make them look like real chocolate truffles, roll them in cocoa powder.
